The Finnish Centres of Expertise programme has already been acknowledged as a successful instrument providing further support for innovation activity and regional industrial development, though it does seem questionable to argue that innovation could be promoted through programming. Innovation capacity can however be supported and fostered, and it is argued in this paper that public policy can address some of the most difficult obstacles to the promotion of innovative regional environments for growth and to support for the emergence of regionally based strategic partnerships. One of the main challenges here lies in promoting inter-regional linkages and networks in an environment that is prone to regionally specific cooperative solutions. If the promotion of expertise and the creation of networks is inherently regional, with the funding structures being equally so, how are inter-regional networks and organizational forms expected to flourish, and how can external support (in this case the national programme for the CoEs) have an impact in this regard? It is thus argued here that organisational learning can be used as a useful tool in understanding these processes.
