How to use what makes your country unique to create competitive advantageDrthomasbrand Limited
How to leverage the unique strengths and capabilities of your company, country or region to create a sustainable business with a strong competitive advantage.
This article is done with specific emphasis on emerging markets where many local communities lack the resources or a sustainable way to create a higher standard of living for all. Examples are used to illustrate what countries and regions can do to resolve this challenge.
Essentially, it also endorses the fact that true competitive advantage lies in what a company can truly do authentically.

2017 Community Information Forum - Ed McMahonMcrpc Staff
The theme of the 2017 Information Forum was the relationship between placemaking and economic development. Our speaker, Ed McMahon of the Urban Land Institute, is nationally known as an inspiring and thought-provoking speaker and a leading authority on topics such as the links between health and the built environment, sustainable development, land conservation, smart growth, and historic preservation. His presentation, "Secrets of Successful Communities: How Cities Can Prosper in a Rapidly Changing World," explored these themes through the lens of economic development.
The America21 Project is a national nonprofit dedicated to changing the economic narrative across Black and Urban America.
America21 promotes an Inclusive Competitiveness economic strategy in a fast-paced, knowledge-based, tech-driven global innovation economy.
America21 promotes an economic framework from the pipeline of education to the productivity of entrepreneurship based on three core pillars of the Innovation Economy:
STEM Education
(science, technology, engineering and math)
High-Growth Entrepreneurship
Access to Capital and Capital Formation
America21 seeks to connect economically disconnected communities and sectors with regional innovation clusters to strengthen the economic competitiveness of the nation by investing in all of America's talent pools.
Deloitte Silicon Beach Australian Startup EcosystemDavid Adams
Leaving it in the ground
Imagine a rich seam of minerals under ground. We’ve poked around and we know its there: lots of value
=just waiting to be uncovered. Imagine too that we
also know there is a market, growing larger each month, with an insatiable demand for consuming these treasures. Now, imagine that the people who live around the seam are born with an aptitude for mining. We are a mining country and we know this story well. But, unusually for Australia, we are leaving this seam in the ground untapped.
Even if the commodities boom lasts decades, Australia is in trouble.
In Silicon Valley it took 60 years to create the structural, cultural & financial infrastructure to repeatedly create new billion dollar technology based industries. The problem is, we are wired to think in a linear way. We massively underestimate the long term impact of current technology trends & market shifts impacted by the technology.
Adrian Turner, Author of ‘Blue Sky Mining’
If startups were treated as a natural resource,
people would ask why we’re ‘leaving them in the ground’. Australia can improve at what Adrian Turner calls ‘Blue Sky Mining’ in his book of the same name.
Background
Silicon Beach represents rare research of Australia’s startups to help Australian businesses and governments target their actions to support this vital sector. In 2011, The Startup Genome Project (blog.startupcompass.co) revealed its first set of international findings. Through surveying thousands of startups it looked for patterns which emerged from data-driven analysis. The report revealed new insights which helped the global startup community answer common questions including:
• How much should I be spending at the different growth stages?
• How long does it take?
• How many customers should I have by now?
• Is it this hard for everybody or just me?
“This first Australian Ecosystem Report ‘Silicon Beach’ is a vital contribution to further the awareness of why technology entrepreneurship is important to Australia and where it has room for improvement. It provides much needed perspective as technology entrepreneurship is evolving to become a new fundamental to the Australian economy. The public interest will be increasing and more stakeholders will participate in the Australian startup ecosystem. This report will fuel the public dialogue in order to co-ordinate the necessary dynamics between entrepreneurs, investors, corporate development and policy makers. I want to thank Pollenizer for taking the lead in summoning representatives of each of these groups, Deloitte Private and Startup Genome to create this report.”

Urban innovation ecosystems are too siloed locally and globally to maximize problem solving for cities and their citizens. Additionally many urban solutions lack the right stakeholder support models/mechanisms to successfully scale.The goal of Civ:Lab is to Connect entrepreneurs, government, academia, civil society, and the private sector to identify, fund, pilot, and scale urban solutions globally. Civ:Lab sits at the nexus of community, society, technology and humanity.

The document highlights the importance of Islamic finance as a tool to finance Micro& small businesses. It presents the “best practices” models of Islamic finance and the consensus principles of the industry.
This paper considers that the most challenging needs facing the development of Microentrepreneurship, are the need to develop innovative socially-oriented banks that care about the ―unbankable‖ segment of the society. Family Bank is considered to be one of the ―social businesses‖ which are based entirely upon the partnership as well as social corporate responsibility (CSR) of private sector.
we need to innovate to overcome the challenges facing micro entrepreneurs. A unique Islamic M&SME’s banking experince from Bahrain focuses on entrepreneurship and Islamic Microfinance finance models.

just to give a fish or teach howto fish.
Theywill not rest until they have
revolutionized the fishing industry."

searches for change,
responds to it, andexploits
it as an opportunity.”

5. THE SOLUTION
SocialInnovation
• Socialinnovationconcepts andpractices,
defined asanovel solutiontoasocial
problemthatis moreeffective, efficient,
sustainable,or justthancurrentsolutions,
areextendedsuccessfullyworldwide.
• Thevalue createdbysocial innovation
accruesprimarilytosocietyratherthanto
privateindividuals,butguided bythree
drivers:
– Exchange of ideas and values (Web 2:0
factor, increasingconcernof climate
change,poverty, hunger,etc.) undermine
– Shifts in roles and relationships (parents,
family, individual, entrepreneurs, self-
employed, etc.)
– Integration of private capital with public
and philanthropic support (PPP, CSR, social
business, etc.),
Example: Grameen Bankin Bangladesh
hasbeen lending smallsumsofmoney,
mostly to ruralpoor women so theycan
engage in micro enterprises,but also to
collective groups. Theinnovation of
GrameenBank is that it lends money to
people who would not be eligible in the
normal commercial sense
(unbankable). People are helped to
determine the best way to satisfy their
needs and are helped by the bank's
officers in the villages.
