The added value achieved in carrying out the work of the transnational approach concentrates on the activities in the area of innovation build up in the targeted areas. Innovation's economic impact emerges at global scale and capitalizes on the critical mass of innovative actions exercised in the area. The innovation systems build in North-Western Europe (highlighting Finland, Sweden) required the existence of a transnational cooperation platform providing added value to national resources.

Thus, increasing the critical mass of innovative actions could impact the direct investment from public (national and EC) and private funds directed towards innovation in the area.
