We are experiencing the rise of the so-called 'entrepreneurial cities'.
The distinctive feature of such cities is their function of promoting the capacities of their respective economic ecosystems in the face of intensified competition in the global economy. This can only be achieved by working simultaneously on three key enabling factors: people, policy and technology . OIS 2018 will explore the key enabling factors of cities’ capacity to innovate, prosper and share the benefits of growth with all.
OIS 2018 will bring together leaders from governments, cities, corporates and civil society organisations to share successful practices, models and ideas, in the spirit of mutual learning and exchange. Turin will host the main event as a European middle-size city that has proven able to develop and implement a post-industrial strategy in order to remain competitive on the international stage and share with the whole community the benefits that come from that. The OIS second edition will take place on 20-21 September at the Center of the City of Turin, Open Incet.
