In 2006, Flanders launched the plan ‘Flanders in Action’ which aims to strengthen Flanders’ economic and innovative potential to turn it into one of the top European regions in 2020. Today, Flanders is a prosperous region. However, this does not guarantee that the same degree of prosperity can be acquired in the future, as the European countries and regions are facing many challenges, such as globalisation and the shift of industries, climate change and changing migration patterns. Each of these countries and regions will have to respond to these challenges in their own way. This text is not a thorough analysis of the socio-economic situation of the European regions. Rather, it aims to detect those regions that are yet a step ahead in the development towards truly innovative regions. This document thus wants to depict how Flanders is positioned in comparison to those ‘excellent’ regions. In the recent past the Research Centre of the Flemish Government already did such exercises. This analysis is an update of the determination of the benchmark regions, based on the most recent data available.
