is innovation in cities a matter of knowledge intensive servicesSiti Khatizah Aziz
This article investigates the relationship between the presence of large cities in a region, the region's industrial structure, and its innovative performance. It analyzes data on regional innovation in European countries based on surveys, and classifies regions by their industrial specialization and urban/rural characteristics. The descriptive results suggest regions with large urban areas tend to be more innovative, and innovation is particularly high in regions specialized in knowledge-intensive services. Regions with both advanced manufacturing and knowledge-intensive services show synergistic effects that further boost innovation. The study aims to provide empirical evidence on how different industrial mixes and urbanization relate to various types of regional innovation.
Living Networks and Urban Labs are addressing major challenges facing cities through social innovation and citizen participation. Some key challenges mentioned include climate change, energy sustainability, and sustainable water and food supplies. Sustainable solutions require diverse knowledge and collaboration between public and private spheres.

A presentation delivered in Brussels on 13th february 2017 International Evidence Review 'Experimenting with Urban Living Labs (ULLs) beyond Smart City-Regions'
Service Design in Public Sector: Boosting organisational Change Through Desig...ServDes
The document summarizes two design projects in Milan that used participatory design approaches to address social challenges. In the first project, called Peripheria, services like material sharing and community activities were co-designed with local residents to improve a neighborhood. This led to indirect results like the municipality and university collaborating on neighborhood plans. The second project, MyNeighborhood, co-designed gardening and food services in Quarto Oggiaro to address social inclusion; this impacted local school curricula. The document discusses how design must consider its contextual situation and can influence factors like organizations, policies and assumptions through situated practice.
The European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL) is the international federation of benchmarked Living Labs in Europe and worldwide. In the following presentation ENoLL presents what it means for cities to be Living Lab and what is the difference between Cities as Living Labs and Urban Living Labs.
The document discusses smart cities and public sector transformation. It provides definitions of smart cities from various organizations and outlines why cities are pursuing smart strategies. The key aspects of smart cities discussed are smart environment, society, economy, government, and how they relate to improving quality of life, efficiency, competitiveness and sustainability. Successful digital transformation of cities requires focus on 5 pillars - data, interconnection, openness, innovation policies, and participation.

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.

E-invoicing data for functional territories definition: the use case of pharmacies
Maria AURINDO (National Institute of Statistics, Portugal)
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.

The market microstructure of industrial ecosystems in the digital and green transitions: evidence from Estonia
Louise GUILLOUET (Science, Technology and Innovation Directorate, OECD)
Thanks to a unique combination of administrative and survey data matched to the Estonian VAT data, this project studies how information on transaction data can shed light on industrial policy making, through two different angles: 1/ Improving the understanding of the production network, industrial ecosystems and the relevant unit of analysis for industrial policy design and 2/ An application to the diffusion of the green and digital transitions, showing the role of production network in technology diffusion and how this can be leveraged to increase policy effectiveness.

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.
This document discusses platform cooperatives, which are defined as digital platforms that are owned and controlled democratically by their users. There are over 500 platform cooperatives currently operating in various sectors such as culture, catering, cleaning, delivery, home services, care, transportation and tourism. The document outlines how platform cooperatives emerged in reaction to issues with the sharing and gig economies. It also discusses the contributions of platform cooperatives to local development and working conditions, as well as challenges they face related to funding, legal frameworks, capacity, and decision-making. Finally, it proposes some policy options for governments to help support platform cooperatives through increasing awareness, improving evidence, facilitating funding, assessing legal frameworks, and providing capacity building support

there are people representatives of the various sectors of the
economy. There you can find the workers of the shipbuilding sector,
engineers, and software engineers, you can find drone experts and
other interesting figures, from manufacturing to advanced tertiary or
new digital economies and then this condition, of being a very large

In fact, Bricolage is the old term for Making. The Maker is nothing
but the Digitized Bricoleur, isn't he/she?! We know that man is used
to self-production... and there is the question of transition: now
everything is digitalized. We moved from atoms to bits while digital
technologies, 3D printing, CNC milling etc., have been allowing us to
get back, from the bits back again to the atoms, to actually regain
that physicality that lately has been virtualized somehow.
