Benchmarking Local Innovation The innovation geography of the UK.
Presentation by Jim Love to the ERC Innovation and Local Growth Workshop
Warwick Business School, The Shard, London
28th May 2015.
Clustering has long been recognized as a key tool for fostering regional growth and economic development. However, like ‘innovation’ clustering has become a somehow blurry concept that many talks about and use in various connections. In this presentation, Jakob will take you through an essential ‘clusters what and why session’ discussing some of the key questions, which are crucial for all being involved in with cluster development: What are clusters more exactly, how do they occur, what are the dynamics and key factors driving strong clusters, can we create clusters, and what are the differences between ‘clusters’ and ‘cluster initiatives’? Most importantly, Jakob will also discuss if clusters and clustering really matters: Do clusters actually forge economic and regional development and why should we aim for cluster development at all?
The latest seminar series organised jointly by the Royal Statistical Society (RSS), the Royal Economic Society (RES), the Economic Statistics Centre of Excellence (ESCoE), Office for National Statistics (ONS) and the Society of Professional Economists (SPE). Part of a wider effort to ensure that UK economic statistics keep pace with the changing shape of modern economies and societies, and continue to meet users’ needs.
The Innovation Convention fringe session jointly organized by the Polish EU Presidency and Knowledge4Innovation provided an outstanding opportunity to present and discuss the seven key messages from the Warsaw event. Participants and speakers including Anneli Pauli from the European Commission and Lambert van Nistelrooij, Member of the European Parliament, unanimously agreed that all messages were highly relevant and should be considered in future policy making.
The outcomes of the 3rd European Innovation Summit together with the major statements from no less than 20 debates on innovation organised in 2011 by the K4I Forum in the European Parliament form an excellent basis for the 2012 working programme of the Knowledge4Innovation Forum. We welcome all stakeholders and policy makers to join the Knowledge4Innovation Forum to make sure that innovation is given the right attention in relevant EU policies and instruments resulting in more and better innovations and hence jobs and growth.
This presentation by the OECD was made during workshop on responsible business conduct held on 17 September 2015 in Kyiv, Ukraine. This workshop was held to share information with the Ukrainian authorities about the obligations of governments under the OECD Declaration on International Investment and Multinational Enterprises.

New Regional Cooperation Model by Integrating Cluster InitiativesGerd Meier zu Koecker
New Regional Cooperation Models can be understood as promising approach to better implement regional smart specialization strategies. In such Models cluster initiatives do play an important role, but have to better integrate other SME intermediaries. The presentation describes how such Models look like and what are the necessary policy framework conditions.

BONKMILLON Unleashes Its Bonkers Potential on Solana.pdfcoingabbar
Introducing BONKMILLON - The Most Bonkers Meme Coin Yet
Let's be real for a second – the world of meme coins can feel like a bit of a circus at times. Every other day, there's a new token promising to take you "to the moon" or offering some groundbreaking utility that'll change the game forever. But how many of them actually deliver on that hype?
how to sell pi coins in South Korea profitably.DOT TECH
Yes. You can sell your pi network coins in South Korea or any other country, by finding a verified pi merchant
What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.
Since there is no pre-sale, the only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners. So a pi merchant facilitates these transactions by acting as a bridge for both transactions.
How can i find a pi vendor/merchant?
Well for those who haven't traded with a pi merchant or who don't already have one. I will leave the what'sapp number of my personal pi merchant who i trade pi with.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.
how to swap pi coins to foreign currency withdrawable.DOT TECH
As of my last update, Pi is still in the testing phase and is not tradable on any exchanges.
However, Pi Network has announced plans to launch its Testnet and Mainnet in the future, which may include listing Pi on exchanges.
The current method for selling pi coins involves exchanging them with a pi vendor who purchases pi coins for investment reasons.
If you want to sell your pi coins, reach out to a pi vendor and sell them to anyone looking to sell pi coins from any country around the globe.
Below is the what'sapp information for my personal pi vendor.

1. Elemental Economics - Introduction to mining.pdfNeal Brewster
After this first you should: Understand the nature of mining; have an awareness of the industry’s boundaries, corporate structure and size; appreciation the complex motivations and objectives of the industries’ various participants; know how mineral reserves are defined and estimated, and how they evolve over time.
What price will pi network be listed on exchangesDOT TECH
The rate at which pi will be listed is practically unknown. But due to speculations surrounding it the predicted rate is tends to be from 30$ — 50$.
So if you are interested in selling your pi network coins at a high rate tho. Or you can't wait till the mainnet launch in 2026. You can easily trade your pi coins with a merchant.
A merchant is someone who buys pi coins from miners and resell them to Investors looking forward to hold massive quantities till mainnet launch.
I will leave the what's app number of my personal pi vendor to trade with.

University of Ulster
An exploratory study of
developing a cluster policy in a
peripheral regional economy:
evidence from key stakeholders
in key growth sectors"
.
2. The geographical area is a UK peripheral region, namely Northern Ireland.
Population 1.8 million
• Fastest growing population in the UK
• One of Europe’s youngest populations 55% under the age of 40
Travel to work population
• Belfast 700,000+
• Londonderry 300,000+
Small business economy
• 98% of businesses employ less than 50 people
Regional economy focused on:
• Increasing the private sector and reducing over dependence on the public sector
• Creating employment opportunities and increasing exports
• Increasing the levels of investment in research and development
No Cluster Policy
• NI has no formal cluster policy however, collaborative activity between industry, education / research bodies
and government in NI is supported through a range of programmes including the Collaborative Growth
Programme (CGP) and Competence Centres.
Northern Ireland – Key Facts
3. Wider
Strategy
• To encourage a cultural shift within NI businesses
• To develop stronger relationships between local businesses and stakeholders to increase
knowledge transfer/enhance skills;
• To enable companies to leverage the opportunities associated with converging technology
• To equip businesses to exploit meaningful international partnerships;
• To contribute to positioning NI as an example of best practice in relation to Smart
Specialisation
Clustering/
Collaboration
4. Context/ Background to Study
• This presentation covers the findings for
the Immersive Technology, High-Tech
Creative Industries, and Materials
Handling and Quarrying Industries
sector.
• This research will be used to inform the
Leveraging Cluster Policies for
Successful Implementation of RIS3
(CLUSTERS3) project
5. Journey
• Semi structured interviews were conducted with senior staff (including
firm owners)
• A snowball sampling approach was used.
• Cluster participants included businesses from various, related sectors
• Only preliminary findings are presented
• As this research has an NI-wide focus, less of an emphasis was placed
on geographic location as a characteristic of a cluster.
Methodology
6. Preliminary Findings
• ‘There was a strong belief that a ‘cluster’ was the same as a
‘sectoral concentration’.
• Of the businesses consulted, ‘horizontal’ collaboration (i.e. with
competitors and/ or related industries that develop
complementary products and services) was more limited.
• Horizontal collaboration was considered more important for
emerging cluster groupings.
• If the partners are customers (and to a lesser extent suppliers),
they can often be located outside NI, however HE/FE partners
and those in related industries or competitor firms tend to be
more local.
• Support among businesses for the work being undertaken by
Invest NI to develop collaborative networks.
7. Preliminary Findings
• Overall, most activity occurs closer to the ‘collaboration’ end of
the spectrum and what might be described as ‘deep clustering’
activity remains at an early stage of development. As this
research has an NI-wide focus, less of an emphasis was placed on
geographic location as a characteristic of a cluster.
• In particular, business-led strategic collaboration at the sectoral
level was limited, and horizontal collaboration between
businesses still quite nascent.
8. So What Next?
Testing our hypotheses - Statement of Intent
We believe that in order to create our territorial cluster blue print we should focus on those
emerging industries which a driven by growth in new technologies, initially supporting the
AI and Cyber clusters via a top down, bottom up approach.
Editor's Notes
The geographical area is a UK peripheral region, namely Northern Ireland.
NI is dominated by SMEs and micro-businesses, i.e. employing 10 people or fewer.
This research will be used to inform the Leveraging Cluster Policies for Successful Implementation of RIS3 (CLUSTERS3) project
.The level of innovative activity was the lowest of any UK region.
NI has no formal cluster policy however, collaborative activity between industry, education / research bodies and government in NI is supported through a range of programmes including the Collaborative Growth Programme (CGP) and Competence Centres.
This presentation covers the findings for the Immersive Technology, High-Tech Creative Industries, and Materials Handling and Quarrying. High-Tech Creative Industries sector.
