It is expected to bring 270 businesses and generate 6,500 jobs by 2020, with 1,800 jobs by 2015. The zone will focus on defense, security, high tech manufacturing, life science, and sustainability sectors.

Local content policies in the mining sector: Approaches and lessons learntEuropean Centre for Development Policy Management (ECDPM)
The document discusses different approaches to local content policies in mining sectors across various countries. It analyzes case studies of advanced economies like Finland, Australia, and Canada that take an incentives-based approach through programs and funds to support suppliers and skills development. It also examines developing countries like Brazil, Peru, South Africa, Ghana, and Papua New Guinea that focus on employment, procurement, and industrialization through a mix of regulatory requirements and partnerships between government, companies, and communities. The document outlines the context, policy priorities, and types of approaches used in each set of countries.Presentation done by Nikolina Trajanoska

Creteshannon3
The document discusses innovation strategies and funding in the Region of Crete over the past 10 years. It describes Crete's economy and research institutions. A SWOT analysis from 1998-2000 identified strengths in R&D and education but weaknesses in commercializing research and a lack of industry. From 2000-2006, EU structural funds supported innovation networks, infrastructure, and projects like Ypaithros, an information service for rural businesses. Going forward, Crete aims to strengthen innovation clusters, technology transfer, and become a "Region of Knowledge" by leveraging past experiences.

Future of addiction
Addictions are evolving with technology and will continue to change in the future. Some potential new forms of addiction mentioned include social media and loneliness avoidance, immersive virtual reality experiences that allow people to choose alternate realities, and "smart drugs" that enhance cognitive abilities. These developments could lead people to spend more time in virtual worlds than in reality. User experience designers will need to study addiction science to avoid exacerbating compulsions and ensure people's well-being is supported as technology continues advancing. Security, exploration, treatment, and balancing virtual and real-world experiences will be important design challenges.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
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.
