Policy makers in search of equity and elusive #equitablegrowth should look at how #innovationdistricts are innovating

New models of #innovation and #equitablegrowth shared at GIID’s strategy session: Cleveland Health Tech Corridor(photo)—including The Cleveland Foundation (photo)—is creating inclusive community centers & programs to teach residents, all within footsteps of community-health R&D.

[Jack O'Sullivan @ThinkOSullivan]

This is an important moment for #innovationdistricts tackling global challenges. Our inspiring Steering Committee of champions is discussing new ways to network & learn together.

[The Global Institute on Innovation Districts @GIID_org]

How can #innovationdistricts make the most of themselves? This week, starting today in Amsterdam, we’re discussing how to leverage the Global Network of Innovation Districts.

[Jack O'Sullivan @ThinkOSullivan]

This week, @GIID_org is doing important work in Amsterdam with its Steering Committee on setting a pathway to support the future thinking, policy and practice around #innovationdistricts.

[The Global Institute on Innovation Districts @GIID_org]

What’s next for The Global Institute on Innovation Districts? This week, starting tomorrow, our Steering Committee (see map of districts) will help sharpen GIID’s work portfolio for the next three years.

[Jack O'Sullivan @ThinkOSullivan]

Promises to be a great meeting as we build this great model that has been so productive in the pandemic, and has a key focus on climate change.

@TheStaggers @Nicklezard A journalist!

[Jack O'Sullivan @ThinkOSullivan]

Not easy to bring together such established, diverse and often competing institutions to sing harmoniously from one sheet. A task for any communicator!

[The Global Institute on Innovation Districts @GIID_org]

Are your innovation district anchors talking frankly about how to connect? ‘Ours have been competing for 100 years,’ an observer tells GIID. ‘That’s a century of adversarial marketing. Now we're asking them to play nice in the sandbox!’

Working from home has a new pain point: New research shows employees who are not co-located are less likely to form ties, weakening spread of novel information, reports new study from MIT et al.

An important read showing how innovation districts can serve the needs and aspirations of local people and communities.

#Innovationdistricts are about #equityandinclusion of communities, not just economic growth. Discover Matt Enstice’s excellent new ‘City Forward: How Innovation Districts Can Embrace Risk and Strengthen Community’. Read more: https://t.co/i7JTp0UE1t

Urban #innovationdistricts look more appropriate post-pandemic. Suburban office parks are in trouble, says the NYT, as younger people want more urban offices with sidewalks & somewhere different to eat lunch each day.

Check out TRECC: it's a master class, for both the Global North and South, in how impact finance can foster partnership to secure major social policy improvements. Europe and US should learn from Africa.

[TRECC @TRECC_CI]

Transforming communities through education is at the heart of the TRECC partnership model in Côte d’Ivoire - but the model's relevance extends much further.

Very good question (though ‘how much do we really value caring dads’ is another, similarly important one...)
