The 7-step COPIE action plan provides guidance for promoting inclusive entrepreneurship through the next round of European Structural Funds. The steps include: 1) obtaining information on entrepreneurship programs; 2) following an integrated policy approach; 3) ensuring high-quality startup support; 4) integrating different service providers; 5) supporting microcredit; 6) promoting skills development and entrepreneurship education; and 7) raising awareness of inclusive entrepreneurship benefits. The plan recommends collecting feedback, engaging stakeholders, developing quality standards, mapping resources, exploiting microfinance opportunities, investing in teacher training, and disseminating good practices.

Lite version of presentation by Iain willox of action planning approach that will be adopted in COPIE 2 presented at Cologne meeting on 5 and 6 march 09
More than USD 300 billion per year will be needed to restore the world’s degraded lands and achieve Sustainable Development Goal 15 by 2030. Public financing is likely to be inadequate, meaning substantial private investment is needed to support restoration activities on the ground.
A crucial step is to identify and establish bankable or investable restoration projects to convince investors of the economic potential and feasibility of restoration beyond its environmental and social impacts.
This session presents several ongoing initiatives and existing tools to support entrepreneurs in developing a business case for sustainable restoration.
This document at hand, is meant to detail the activities, structure, components and conditions of
the proposed “Entrepreneurship support and intervention programme” for the E-waste Recycling
Industry in Egypt.
We are pleased to submit a Project that is innovative for both the methodological approach and the modalities of intervention and refer to the below “factors of change”:
A) The new orientations on the theme of poverty eradication,
B) The release (2010) of the Document on microfinance within Basel III
C) The financial crisis in 2007-08, which effects are still ongoing
D) The increasing integration among financial circuits
E) The intervention of the central banks to regulate the microfinance market.
In particular, we have elaborated on above points (A) and (B) and worked out a model to make sustainable the supply of financial and non-financial services and in so doing differentiate micro credit, micro grant, and micro aid, which sources of capital and decision making process should be different and possibly carried out in different “hubs”.
IN-HOUSE SEMINAR is neither training, nor course of lessons, nor technical assistance; it is a Colloquium that is the best way to deal with management and policy matters for both speaker and participants because the former can focus on specific and practical subjects and the latter can discuss the house’s problems and consequently have the opportunity to talk about their own business.
Open Banking is being implemented around the world, and it is coming to SE Asia. What form of Open Banking should occur here? How will it help drive financial inclusion? On 4 September, we are hosting an event to announce the SE Asia Open Banking Working Group (OBWG), an industry-wide initiative which will interact with all parts of the ecosystem. At the event, we will have an open call for all interested parties to register their interest in being part of the working group.
Be part of the next wave of financial transformation in SE Asia. You’ll hear from industry experts and those who have actually implemented Open Banking solutions in other markets. Whether you want to be personally involved or just learn how Open Banking will impact your industry, come join us for what promises to be an exciting night.

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.

The presentation illustrates how a new Business-to-Consumer (B2C) database extracted from the Portuguese E-invoice system can be an important tool to explore the functional territories concept taking the pharmacies catchment areas as an example. The discussion addresses data integration methodological options and how Statistics Portugal infrastructural information domains – Business register, Building and fraction register and Population register – were crucial for this exercise, developed within the CE-SIG – Map of facilities and services project.

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.

Horizon 2020 - research networks across borders - Rupert KawkaOECD CFE
Involvement of rural regions in European research networks
Rupert KAWKA, Torsten SCHUNDER (Federal Office for Building and regional Planning, Germany)
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.

How can the social and solidarity economy help refugees along their journey?OECD CFE
Forcibly displaced people fleeing violent conflict and other forms of persecution find support from the social and solidarity economy (SSE) along their pathways, from their country of origin to asylum protection. The numbers are growing and new OECD work sheds light on how the specific values and characteristics of SSE entities provide high-quality responses to refugee needs and facilitate integration in host communities.
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.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

2. STEP 1: OBTAIN SUFFICIENT AND APPROPRIATE INFORMATION
To dispose of suitable data on how services are perceived and evaluated by different
stakeholders is essential to develop effective and successful policies. This is particularly
important when programming for inclusive entrepreneurship.
Being at the end of a seven year funding period allows for a thorough assessment of the
impact of existing programmes. The collection of useful information and data will provide an
opportunity to improve understanding of the realities within the entrepreneurship system and
to reveal the actual demand of potential entrepreneurs for concrete instruments and
measures of support. New information obtained can serve as the basis to (re)position
entrepreneurial policies within the Structural Funds programmes in an effective, efficient and
inclusive way.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Collect and analyse feedback on the current state of your regional and/or national
entrepreneurship system.
Use the process of gathering information and data to raise awareness on the
relevance of an inclusive entrepreneurship policy.
Update and further develop your database of social enterprises to gain new data on
the sector and to be able to share new social business models.
COPIE Tools: COPIE Diagnosis Tool
STEP 2: FOLLOW AN INTEGRATED POLICY DEVELOPMENT APPROACH
Entrepreneurship policies require the active engagement of several government
departments, key intermediaries who deliver services and potential as well as actual
entrepreneurs.
To maximise effectiveness and efficiency of public programmes, key ministries (especially
Ministries of Labour and Ministries of Enterprise, Industry or Trade) should adopt a joint
strategy for inclusive and social entrepreneurship.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
When drafting your inclusive entrepreneurship policy, think about who the key
stakeholders are, and engage them from the outset. Effective policy development
requires a participatory governance approach.
2
3. Create a coordination body on inclusive entrepreneurship between ministries to
ensure joint active participation in strategy development, and in creating and
implementing a targeted action plan.
Link your inclusive entrepreneurship policy to the wider social and economic
development agenda of your region/country to increase maximum impact of financial
support.

STEP 3: ENSURE HIGH QUALITY SERVICE PROVISION IN START-UP AND
BUSINESS SUPPORT
Entrepreneurship support systems have been traditionally designed to cover a broad range
of different clients through the same type of service. However, as experience from the
current European Structural Funds period has shown, support services that are based on the
needs of individual groups of clients show better results; hence they are better suited to
achieve the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy.
Support measures also need to build upon existing market conditions and territorial
prospects for starting up a sustainable business in a specific geographic environment.
They should not discriminate against collective forms of entrepreneurship such as co-
operatives, and social enterprise should be considered a fully-fledged form of enterprise.
Ensuring that clear and transparent quality processes are set and understood by all actors
involved, especially by the end-users, is key to long-term success.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Include the development of quality management systems for tailored start-up support
in your inclusive entrepreneurship policy programming.
Make quality management a requirement when funding business support services
through the ESF and ERDF.
Define minimum criteria on requirements, qualification and certification for business
advisors to achieve a minimum quality standard in business advice.
Involve start-up and business support stakeholders in the set-up of quality
management procedures.

4. STEP 4: PLAN FOR THE INTEGRATION OF DIFFERENT SERVICE PROVIDERS
Entrepreneurs require a transparent, easily accessible, targeted and coherent support
environment. The support system should thus be “braided”; i.e. whilst one-stop-shops, as the
first point of contact, should be skilled up to enable them to advise on all forms of enterprise
(including inclusive entrepreneurship businesses and social enterprise) there will inevitably
come a point where specialists need to be called in. These might be organisations rooted in
target groups or specialists in certain sectors or techniques. Such specialist organisations
need to be networked, and this network may need to be super-regional.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Use a diagnostic tool to carry out a preliminary analysis on business support
structures along the support chain to entrepreneurs that are provided to date. This
allows you to identify gaps in the current infrastructure and helps you to plan new
programmes in the area.
Plan for an integration of services and consequentially fund the development of
services that not available in a specific territory.
Provide funding for business support services based on the quality of the coaching,
advice and training provided.

STEP 5: SUPPORT MICROCREDIT
During the global economic crisis, financial markets have drained and companies continue to
face severe challenges. For SMEs, micro businesses and social enterprises, getting access
to adequate finance is crucial for long-term sustainability. Microfinance thus becomes an
important tool to boost economic development through start-ups and to help existing
companies to grow. At the same time, microfinance also contributes to financial inclusion,
self-employment, community development and social inclusion.
With the use of ESF, ERDF and the new European Programmes government actors can
make important contribution to the microfinance sector. There are plenty of opportunities for
support, including funding for individual microfinance institutions or financial intermediaries
and for microfinance networks, capacity building initiatives for microfinance institutions, and
campaigns to promote self-employment and access to responsible micro loans.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Start to exploit the full potential of microfinance together with your regional and
national stakeholders and build upon their expertise from the respective sectors.
Support better access to finance for entrepreneurs from specific target groups and for
social entrepreneurs; either in form of loan capital, guaranties or equity capital.
Start as soon as possible to plan support for financial instruments in your OPs and
link them with other support instruments like training and advice services.
4
5. Ensure a sound, flexible and applicable legal basis for using microfinance
instruments.
Coordinate initiatives between different Structural Funds programmes.
Provide funding for capacity-building initiatives to help microfinance institutions to
build up knowledge and experience.

STEP 6: PROMOTE SKILLS DEVELOPMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP
EDUCATION
Entrepreneurship is one of the eight key competences for lifelong learning and represents a
valuable set of knowledge, skills and attitudes that enable people to transform ideas into
actions. The role of education in the development of this competence should not be
underestimated. The Europe2020 strategy thus highlights the importance of
entrepreneurship education in promoting a more competitive and entrepreneurial workforce.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Develop a common strategy for entrepreneurship education and learn from existing
good practice in Europe.
Invest in capacity building of teachers, trainers and school leaders (irrespective of the
level) by developing their capacity to acquire entrepreneurial and creative skills and to
use new teaching methods.
Provide funding to trainings which have proved their quality in terms of results. Set up
pilot initiatives to detect the relevant indicators for quality in entrepreneurship
education.
Consider the ESF as a source of long-term funding to make entrepreneurship
education available in every school.
Explore the potential of Entrepreneurship Education to prevent early school leaving.

STEP 7: RAISE AWARENESS AND ENGAGE IN THE DEBATE ON THE BENEFITS
OF INCLUSIVE ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Entrepreneurship plays a crucial role in achieving the goals of the Europe2020 strategy, both
in terms of employment creation and for stimulating economic growth. Making
5
6. entrepreneurship a viable option for all parts of society will be essential to tap the full
entrepreneurial potential. This requires offering the right type of support to every person
willing to start up their own business.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Encourage exchange of experience of promoting inclusive entrepreneurship through
transnational cooperation and reward good practice.
Engage with national, regional and EU policy-makers to reflect the significance of
inclusive entrepreneurship.
Provide political and financial support to disseminate good practices, thus making
existing tools and instruments available to a broader range of stakeholders.
