Catalysing regional development: building smarter, greener and responsible local economy.
Local and regional authorities have a pivotal influence in shaping a smarter, greener, and more responsible economy. Regions and cities are best placed to nurture innovation ecosystems and serve as ideal testbeds for innovative approaches. They connect sustainable and smart growth to foster socio-economic development and create jobs.
Technopolis Group has been working with regions and cities for more than 30 years. Our work helps them to address complex innovation challenge, which requires a holistic approach and a long-term perspective across the policy cycle.
- Regional Innovation Policy: we work with local and regional authorities, and local innovation stakeholders to shape the economic fabric and build dynamic innovation ecosystems.
- Climate Neutral, Resilient & Digital Cities and Regions: we help local ecosystems to build policies and instruments fostering carbon-neutral transition, climate adaptation solutions, and the uptake of digital technologies into the regional economic fabric and the local administration.
- EU Cohesion Policy: we advice national and regional managing authorities and European institutions to develop, implement, monitor and evaluate the cohesion policy across European regions and in the outermost regions.
In these sectors, we offer a wide range of services:
