Eden District Council - Civil Society Innovation NetworkLGIU
Eden District Council in England has the largest and most sparsely populated area, making access to services difficult. The Council has made savings of £2 million while reducing staff to 150 full-time employees. To address challenges, the Council is developing communities' abilities by saying 'yes' instead of 'no' and assisting with larger projects and community plans to make activities more sustainable with fewer resources.
Access to clean and affordable modern energy is critical to fostering lasting social and economic development and to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). How do we bring this to our classrooms?
CPRE, a UK environmental charity, sees community energy as a positive way forward if led by the local community with broad buy-in, direct benefits to the local community, and a focus on both energy reduction and supply while being sensitive to the landscape and wildlife of the area. CPRE strongly supports community energy but believes further political support is still needed from the government and more UK communities need to become involved in community energy projects.

Pure Leapfrog is a UK charity that provides financing and support to community energy projects. Their mission is to give UK communities the opportunity to own renewable energy generation and reduce energy demand through affordable financing. They have supported over 100 projects, providing loans to 20 and grants to 30. This has enabled over 4MW of community-owned renewable energy and benefits over 500,000 people. They also provide legal and consulting support to community groups, local authorities, and renewable companies.
The document outlines plans to implement a micro-hydroelectric project in Ifugao Province, Philippines. Villanova University faculty and students have worked in the area since 2009 on engineering projects and business development. The current project aims to rehabilitate a 25kW system in Maggok village and establish a sustainable, community-owned model for power generation. Stage 1 goals include assessing sites, building partnerships, and designing an appropriate system for a village near a hydroelectric source. The project will empower the community through participation, establishing a cooperative to independently operate and maintain the new power system and stimulate the local economy.

FDI and Superstar Spillovers: Evidence from Firm-to-Firm Transactions
Mary AMITI (FED New York, United States)
Despite competition concerns over the increasing dominance of global corporations, many argue that productivity spillovers from multinationals to domestic firms justify pro-FDI policies. For the first time, we use firm-to-firm transaction data in a developed country to examine the impact of forming a new relationship with a multinational, and find a TFP increase of about 8% three or more years after the event. Sales to other buyers, trade and customer quality also increase. However, we also document that starting to supply other “superstar firms” such as those who heavily export or are very large also increases performance by similar amounts, even if the superstar is a non-multinational. Placebos on starting relationships with smaller firms and novel identification strategies relying solely on demand shocks to superstar firms support a causal interpretation. In addition to productivity spillovers, we document the transmission of “relationship capabilities” and “dating agency” effects as the increase in new buyers is particularly strong within the superstar firm’s existing network. These results suggest an important role for raising productivity through the supply chains of superstar firms regardless of their multinational status.

Mapping location and co-location of industries at the neighborhood level - A...OECD CFE
Mapping location and co-location of industries at the neighborhood level
Alessandro ALASIA, Dennis HUYNH (Statistics Canada)
In Canada, there is limited analysis on industry locations at the neighbourhood level; location and co-location of industries have been assessed primarily at the regional scale which results in an information gap for businesses. Recent evidence suggests that businesses do not just choose a city for their location, they choose specific business districts within a metropolitan area. Recent improvements in the geolocation of business microdata allow to address the information gap. This work, undertaken as part of the Business Data Lab and in collaboration with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, is a first attempt to map industry locations at the neighbourhood level in major metropolitan areas of Canada. Using establishment-level microdata from the Business Register, we apply spatial kernel density estimations to identify neighbourhoods with high employment/revenue density for selected industries (2-digit NAICS) and industry clusters (grouping of 6-digits NAICS). The geographic delineation of business districts within metropolitan areas is the first step in understanding the evolution of industry location and co-location over time, and assessing local business dynamics at the neighbourhood level. Ultimately, these business districts can be analyzed in combination with additional data sources (e.g., mobility and road traffic) to derive further economic insights.

Advancing and democratizing business data in Canada- Patrick Gill & Stephen TappOECD CFE
Democratizing data through innovative data governance and visualizations
Patrick GILL, Stephen TAPP (Chambers of Commerce, Canada)
Small organizations in Canada struggle with accessing and leveraging data on business conditions and trends. These organizations have expressed difficulty in knowing what is available, accessing it and converting this information into actionable insights. To empower small organizations with more business-related information and insights, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce has built a suite of free tools that merge and visualize traditional statistics with powerful high-frequency data sets (e.g. payments and mobility). This work is enabled by innovate data governance (e.g. a data trust) and a collaborative partnership with Statistics Canada. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce is continuing work with Statistics Canada to release more local business information available through the agency’s Business Register (e.g. the mapping of local business districts), and is exploring how Generative AI can support small organizations’ navigation and understanding of the business information it has curated.

Involvement of rural regions in European research networks

This study investigates the distribution of the European Union's Horizon 2020 funding programme on rural and urban regions between 2014 and 2020 and the resulting urban-rural links. Leveraging the Horizon 2020-database covering the 2014-20 programming period, which encompasses data on approximately 35,000 funded projects involving nearly 180,000 partners, the paper explores the participation of rural firms and organisations in the broader European research framework. By integrating the urban-rural classification of NUTS 3 regions, the research addresses key questions concerning the involvement of rural regions in Horizon 2020 projects, the structural differences in projects with and without rural participation, and the dynamics of urban-rural collaboration in research. The study further aims to identify potential clusters of rural innovation hubs across Europe and assess spatial disparities.

The SSE can support access to rights, empowerment, social and labour market inclusion of refugees. Join this webinar with the UNHCR, SINGA and NESsT Poland to discover how the SSE plays a role in the steps along the way of refugee’s journey.
This document discusses platform cooperatives, which are defined as digital platforms that are owned and controlled democratically by their users. There are over 500 platform cooperatives currently operating in various sectors such as culture, catering, cleaning, delivery, home services, care, transportation and tourism. The document outlines how platform cooperatives emerged in reaction to issues with the sharing and gig economies. It also discusses the contributions of platform cooperatives to local development and working conditions, as well as challenges they face related to funding, legal frameworks, capacity, and decision-making. Finally, it proposes some policy options for governments to help support platform cooperatives through increasing awareness, improving evidence, facilitating funding, assessing legal frameworks, and providing capacity building support
