Our economic development forum provides a platform for policy development in relation to innovation and economic development policies, at local, national and EU level


 
Our forum focuses in particular on influencing the following policies and funding programmes:
  • cohesion policy/ European structural and investment funds
  • EU internal market policy
  • EU public procurement policy
  • entrepreneurship and SME policies, including the funding programme COSME
  • innovation policy, including Horizon 2020 funding programme for research and innovation
Our forum also provides a platform for cities to exchange on economic development policies in relation to urban development strategies, local economic policies, entrepreneurship and SME policies, employment strategies, public services and urban regeneration, city branding and international economic relations.
Members also debate on the spatial dimension of these policies and focus on integrated urban development, as well as the importance of the metropolitan area level.
