Technological capabilities vary substantially across European regions. Combining these diverse sets of capabilities is crucial
to develop the technologies necessary to master the green and digital transition. However, collaboration between regions is
sparse today. To increase inter-regional cooperation, linkages that spur the development of green and digital technologies
must be identified. In this study, we provide an overview of inter-regional collaborations already in place and map new opportunities
for these between regions. A special emphasis is placed on potential collaborations between economically leading and lagging
regions. Our results provide new impetus for policy designs that strengthen regional innovation capabilities and cohesion
across Europe's regions.
