Economic development happens in places and spaces. For a country to thrive in the world economy, it needs to have many competitive regions, cities and towns. For a location to thrive, it needs to shape a competitive advantage, it needs to upgrade, and local people have to innovate all the time.

mesopartner offers and shares the knowledge that local actors need to address this challenge. We develop innovative tools around territorial development, local economic development, cluster promotion, strengthening of local innovation systems, and related topics. We coach and equip practitioners. We conduct leading edge learning events for practitioners.

Innovation Management School for Ministry representatives in Latin America

In September 2011 mesopartner designed and moderated the Spanish Innovation Management School (IMS) for the GIZ and the UN-Economic Commission for Latin America in Bonn. The objective of the School was to encourage an interactive and learning-driven format that provides the exchange of experience between representatives from different ministries in Latin America using the German and EU experience in innovation promotion as a reference point for discussion. Further information can be found in the IMS blog designed by mesopartner and the participants of the IMS.

Partner Meeting in Pretoria: In-depth Exchange on 2012 Priorities and Objectives

Like in the previous year, we started 2012 with a joint partner meeting in Pretoria, South Africa. It helped us to reconnect and to define project priorities and company objectives for the upcoming 12 months.

The focus of this 5-day internal gathering was an in-depth exchange on recent working experiences and insights in 2011 and on measures to be taken to further pursue our strategic intent in 2012. Apart from further developing our themes, we will continue experimenting with innovative approaches on how to recognize patterns in complex market systems and design systemic interventions.

We look forward to an intensive learning experience among us partners, our associates, collaborators and customers!
