Northern Sparsely Populated Areas - OECD Report OECD Governance
The northern sparsely populated areas (NSPA) of Finland, Norway and Sweden are becoming increasingly important to the geopolitical and
economic interests of these countries and the European Union (EU). The NSPA regions are located on the periphery of Europe and are part of Europe’s gateway to the Arctic and eastern Russia.
A changing climate, access to hydrocarbon and mineral resources, and shifts in relations with Russia are changing the political and economic
landscape. The sustainable development of these regions is crucial to managing such strategic risks and opportunities.
The report sets out 179 policy recommendations at a cross-border, national and regional scale to enhance prosperity and wellbeing across the NSPA. For more inforamtion see www.oecd.org/gov/regional-policy/oecd-territorial-reviews-the-northern-sparsely-populated-areas-9789264268234-en.htm

Recommendation of the OECD Council on Effective Public Investment Across Leve...OECD Governance
This document presents the Recommendation on Effective Public Investment Across Levels of Government that was adopted by the OECD Council on March 12, 2014.
A Recommendation is an OECD instrument approved by the Council that results in international norms and standards, best practices and policy guidelines. Recommendations are not legally binding, but practice accords them great moral force as representing the political will of Member states.
The Recommendation was developed by the OECD Territorial Development Policy Committee (TDPC). It was submitted to an extensive consultation procedure within the OECD and externally, and was supported by Ministers at the TDPC Ministerial meeting on 5-6 December 2013 in Marseille.
The purpose of the principles set out in the Recommendation is to help governments at all levels to assess the strengths and weaknesses of their public investment capacity, a critical shared responsibility across levels of government, and set priorities for improvement. The OECD will further work towards the implementation of these Principles by developing a supporting Toolkit to guide policy-makers and practitioners.

Before we get too far into the new fiscal year, we thought we’d go back and look at how the IBED world fared in the last round of state budgets. Tax credits continue to be a favored tool to spur growth and investment in the IBED world. Even though budgets are tight, many states have maintained or increased funding for IBED-related tax credits, and a few, such as Nebraska and Virginia have introduced new ones. Supporting commercialization efforts was also high on the list this legislative season. Ohio’s Third Frontier, for instance, has a new Commercial Acceleration Loan Fund worth $25 million. With waning investment from traditional venture capital firms, several states are stepping in to fill the gap. Maryland’s new InvestMaryland program allocates $70 million for venture capital in the innovation economy sector. And though it was developed back in 1989, Economic Gardening has only recently started to catch hold on the regional and state level. Nebraska, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Michigan have all introduced new initiatives this year. The trend of the year, though, seems to be the restructuring of state-level economic development efforts, with a particular emphasis on engaging the private sector. Many of these efforts are currently facing some controversy, but we wouldn’t be surprised if once the wrinkles get ironed out, this is a trend that’s here to stay.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

governance and
implementation
Updated OECD Innovation Strategy
20. • From “picking winners” to facilitating and
supporting entrepreneurial self- discovery in
regions
• Activities, not sectors per se, are the level for
setting priority setting for knowledge investments
– Important role of general purpose technologies
Core elements of a smart
specialisation policy
• Smart specialisation entails strategic and specialised
diversification
• Evaluation and monitoring… requires flexibility in policy
making to be able to terminate or reallocate public support to
R&D and innovation…. so clear benchmarks and criteria for
success and failure are needed
21. • What can help support the tradable sectors
– Challenges to operationalise this
• Focus on the gaps in S&T-intensive indicators (R&D and
patents) or productivity and jobs
– What elements have to be IN the region itself and what assets can be
sourced from outside the region
• Consider instruments to boost productivity (& jobs)
– While literature documents that reality is not always the linear model from
R&D to innovation, policies typically assume it is
• Some actors merit greater attention in these strategies
– Unsung heroes (vocational training)
Common missing elements of smart
specialisation strategies
22. Universities as actors in developing smart
specialisation strategies: challenges
• Universities should always be “at the table” for strategy
development
– But with sufficient private sector involvement to keep strategies balanced
and identify the most relevant areas for knowledge transfer
• Examples of an excessive influence that results in
strategies focused on science over economic benefits
– In part because universities are a stable partner, sometimes have
strong representative groups, are able to attend meetings
• Examples of insufficient university involvement
– Due in part to lower levels of regional engagement by some
globally-oriented universities
– And a lack either of an organised strategy or willingness to involve
universities in it
22
23. University-based S&T parks and
incubators
• Regional and national governments often co-finance
infrastructure
– This is a visible investment for ribbon-cutting, but does the return for
regional economic development always meet expectations?
– Those with special equipment/thematic focus may have greater rationale
for public funding
– Everybody wants one—so the spatial distribution most appropriate for
firm needs or economic impacts is not always behind the choice
• Many science-based incubators have researchers, but few
“entrepreneurs”
– Researchers with start-ups report in interviews they have not grown in
size much because they like to do research, not sales
– Some start-ups not based on university research per se, but incubator an
attractive environment to help start a firm given special conditions or
labelling effect
23
24. • Non-metro innovation can be any sector, not just the
primary sector.
• The potential is particularly great in services – and perhaps
especially in logistics and services allied to manufacturing.
• Innovation in low-density environments is more likely to be
driven by one person than metro-based innovation.
• Such innovations may lead to patents, but many do not.
• Many such innovations are likely to have a niche market,
primarily significant in a particular place, but some have
global effects.
• It may take time for such innovations to exhibit their full
value, so they tend not to attract venture capital. 24

that are not large metro areas

26. A few learning points from OECD regional
innovation reviews (1/2)
• Expectations for knowledge transfer to be matched with
regional context
– Regional growth model, regional innovation system, type of university, etc.
• Research and curricula relevant for the existing firm base
may have greater economic impact
– Even if there is a bias in regional approaches towards patents and start-ups
as indicators of “third mission” engagement
– And timing delays in updating curricula are a recurring complaint of firms
seeking knowledge transfer in the form of educated workers
• Mapping university offer and ensuring brokers to reach
SMEs is costly
– And cost not easily borne by universities themselves
26
27. A few learning points from OECD regional
innovation reviews (2/2)
• Quality of technology transfer offices a consideration
– So merging of offices across universities has been one way to improve
quality and efficiency
• In-firm placement of university PhDs/recent graduates can
be helpful
– But in some cultural contexts, firms resistant to this form of knowledge
transfer
• Universities can play a key “hub” role in the region and
“gateway” role to the world to bring knowledge to the
region’s firms
– As evidenced in co-patenting data and other analyses

Generally seems to work
• Attempts to allow funds
from one country go to
another (some
exceptions)
• Certain innovation
projects in highly
regulated sectors
(health, energy)
• International branding
efforts often caught up
in political sensibilities
Mixed results depending
on the cross-border region
Particularly difficult
• Cross-border linkages of
firms with providers (e.g.,
innovation vouchers)
• Cluster-related support for
areas of common
competencies
• Joint prioritised research
• Access to shared S&T parks,
scientific installations, joint
centres
• Broad university
collaborations;
collaboration in specific
fields easier
• Researchers look for
excellence over
proximity
• Students need right
framework conditions
(diploma recognition,
financing, etc.)
• Firm networking and
matchmaking; leading to
collaboration?
Experiences using different instruments on a
cross-border basis show…

Innovating beyond borders
Defining the functional area
• Devote more efforts to
strategy development
and policy intelligence
• Mainstream the cross-
border element, and if
not, align or allow for
programme flexibility
• Make greater use of
opportunities created by
the border
• Publicize success stories
of cross-border
instruments
Governing cross-border
collaboration
Aligning incentives and
working together
Making cross-border
instruments work
Learning from
international lessons
• Look at what the data says,
but don’t wait to start
• Only pursue the cross-
border element when it
makes sense
• Allow flexibility in the area
definition so as to not
create unhelpful new
borders
• Don’t under-estimate the
importance of other
“hard” and “soft” factors
beyond innovation
• Give politicians a reason to
care about the issue
• Identify for supra/national
governments where they
can help local/regional
efforts
• Understand different costs
and benefits, and their
alignment, for a long-term,
trust-based collaboration
• Engage non-public actors
in governance, with some
form of secretariat
