Understand how you can use innovation to unlock inclusive and sustainable economic growth
Make sure you have an effective and integrated data strategy in place
Recognise how technology and innovation is making places more competitive and how to de-risk bold ideas
Identify why conventional financing often fails to achieve impactful outcomes and what alternative financing and procurement opportunities exist
Communicate clearly how innovation is changing how your place is managed and the opportunities this creates for companies, universities, and residents
Use co-creation to define an innovation ecosystem roadmap that increases stakeholder buy-in, investment and talent attraction
Innovation is being used to drive economic growth, improve sustainability, and support inclusion, but do you need a digital twin, smart specialisation, a living lab or an innovation district? This module will set the foundation for shaping your place-based innovation plan by identifying drivers, intended impact, and stakeholder engagement.
No tool, technology or solution will have as much impact on accelerating innovation as digital transformation. Learn how you can leverage data strategies, governance, and risk management in the context of AI reshaping our relationship to place.
Innovation is most impactful when it delivers meaningful change across a broad range of sectors, including energy, health, housing, mobility, and waste. This module will use evidence from hundreds of public grants, thousands of European case studies, and millions of tenders to help you develop achievable business cases to respond to your specific area of need.
This module brings together previous learning and co-creation processes to define your innovation roadmap. The aim is to increase stakeholder buy-in and investment, while attracting and unlocking innovation talent. Your roadmap will cover the main aspects of innovation — people, place, and policy — to ensure your place is primed for innovation.
This course is designed to develop innovation capacity in towns, cities and regions by enabling individuals in the public, private and third sectors to take greater ownership over their local innovation ecosystems.

We had the pleasure of having the BABLE training for our MedCities community and further mentoring services. Throughout our entire experience working with them, they were very professional and delivered an extremely high quality of work. For instance — their vast international Use Case database and knowledge, their attentive and regular follow-ups as well as their technical advice.
A great partner to work with!
This was a highly impactful training for our work. BABLE tailored the modules and focus of the training to address key challenges we face with our stakeholders in implementing regional policy.
