This causes both remarkable pressure for change and opportunities for most of the industry. The development of competitiveness of the education is attractive. Continuous maintenance requires co-operation between companies, smart clusters and R&D; how to continuously and systematically develop co-operation in digitalizing business environment. This article introduces created development process and framework for developing and organizing ICT education to support the competitiveness of universities, but also to support the transition towards digitalization and innovation based on the regional “Smart Specialization” strategy. It introduces model to renew ICT based higher education so that it will support continuous development of personnel competence. It also offers for the enterprises opportunity to involve in business co-evolution and initialization of new technologies and skills. Model also provides possibility to test products and services in transdisciplinary value networks.
