Policy Foundations That Catalyze Growth
Well-timed, mission-oriented public spending on infrastructure, health, and education crowds in private capital and raises long-run productivity. Think of a refurbished port unlocking exports for small manufacturers. What strategic investment would most transform opportunity where you live?
Infrastructure as a Growth Engine
Strategic rail links, ports, and last-mile logistics reduce shipping times and spoilage, opening new markets for rural producers and urban startups alike. A simple bypass once halved delivery delays for a trucking cooperative. Which corridor could transform your region’s competitiveness?
Infrastructure as a Growth Engine
High-speed internet enables remote work, online learning, telemedicine, and digital commerce. When governments co-invest in open-access fiber, mountain towns attract startups and freelancers. If your community gained reliable gigabit service, what business or idea would you launch tomorrow?
Innovation, R&D, and the Knowledge Economy
National R&D Funds With Clear Missions
Mission-driven programs focus resources on big problems—clean aviation, precision health, climate resilience—using milestone-based grants and open calls. Clear goals rally universities, startups, and corporates. Which public R&D mission would inspire your team to collaborate across disciplines?
From Lab to Market: Tech Transfer That Works
Streamlined licensing, proof-of-concept grants, and entrepreneurial fellowships help researchers become founders. One medical device spin-out scaled quickly after a hospital network agreed to pilot procurement. What would make your local tech transfer office faster and more founder-friendly?
Nurturing Startup Ecosystems
Public seed funds that crowd in private investors, founder-centric incubators, and regulatory sandboxes reduce early-stage risk. A food-tech entrepreneur we met hired fifty within a year after landing a matched grant. Tell us what startup support your city still lacks.
Skills, Jobs, and Human Capital
Portable training accounts let workers buy short, stackable courses aligned with in-demand skills. Verified micro-credentials help employers hire confidently. If you had a funded learning wallet today, which skill would you pursue to unlock your next opportunity?
Small Business, Finance, and Market Access
Set-asides, unbundled contracts, and prompt-pay rules help smaller firms compete and thrive. A family-run workshop we interviewed finally scaled after winning a city maintenance tender. What procurement reforms would make tenders more transparent and accessible for your business?
Small Business, Finance, and Market Access
Public guarantees de-risk loans to viable firms, while open banking and alternative data expand access responsibly. Pairing guarantees with mentoring improves survival rates. Share whether a blended finance tool could help you invest in equipment, staff, or inventory this year.
Place-Based and Inclusive Growth
Special Economic Zones With Real Accountability
Zones work best when linked to local suppliers, skills programs, and worker protections, not just tax relief. Transparent reporting and sunset reviews keep promises honest. What governance safeguards would give residents confidence that new zones create shared prosperity?
Rural Revitalization Through Agri-Tech
Extension services, drone mapping, and cooperative cold chains raise yields and reduce waste. When governments connect farmers to digital marketplaces, incomes stabilize. Tell us which tool—advice, storage, or transport—would most improve your community’s farm-to-market journey.
Urban Regeneration and Main Street Renewal
Brownfield cleanup, safer streetscapes, and mixed-use zoning bring foot traffic and fresh investment. With community input, heritage districts can thrive without displacement. Which corner of your city deserves a pilot project to test people-first design and small business support?
