Territorial innovation corresponds to the implementation of new solutions to a territory in order to strengthen its competitive position in the economic and social development of a planned-oriented sustainable development way.
Advank has significant experience with various municipalities, regions and countries in the development of targeted projects to meet the current generation without compromising the future generations. This means allowing people to achieve a satisfactory level of social, economic, human and cultural development and at the same time use the endogenous resources of the territory in order to increase their competitiveness and differentiation.
STRATEGIC PLANING
How to integrate innovation in spatial planning?
Our approach is an important support for the government. We act impartially and oriented to the benefit of the local population, territory, regions or countries.
Our Territorial Strategic Planning service provides quickly adequate information for decision makers and difficult to obtain by traditional methods.
Our methodology can be applied in a municipal, regional or national level and allows to define lines of action for development with the consensus of the population, using citizen participation processes. Our methodology is a social promotion tool and awareness of the various actors in order to facilitate the implementation of the results achieved through planning.
GOVERNMENT INNOVATION
How to create more innovative projects for the development of the territory?
Our government service innovation is oriented to work in two lines. The first related to the application of innovation in the activities and processes of government administration in order to make them more suitable and efficient for the benefit of the population.
The second line operates in developing higher impact projects in the resolution of territorial issues exploring new ways to approach the problems in order to get better results.
Advank acts with a perspective of integration seeking to join in solving the problems of the territory the participation of the government, the productive sector and society.
INNOVATION POLICY
How to stimulate the actors of the innovation system of my territory?
The stimulation of economic growth based on innovation is one of the main challenges facing governments today.
The definition of support policies and encouraging innovation allows to finance and develop projects aimed at development of innovation’s entities and generally of the business system. It requires a specialized and differentiated approach since the territories differ much from each other and it is not sufficient or relevant to replicate models that apparently worked in other territories.
Advank has a strong ability to develop ad-hoc models based on innovation.
INNOVATION COOPERATION
How to become a more competitive and innovative territory?
Globalization has brought with it new challenges and the need to think globally and act locally. Cooperation between territories, even distant, is an opportunity to get together efforts, complement the common troubleshooting or acquisition and know-how transfer when one has achieved prominence in a particular area.
In any case, be able to implement such successful projects that will take advantage of cooperative partnerships between the territories is one of the constant challenges facing governments.
Advank helps and supports various entities in more than 20 countries to develop international cooperation projects in the business, economic, entrepreneurship, scientific and technological system and in other areas by applying innovation as the basis for the success of projects.
TERRITORIAL MARKETING
How to promote and attract investment in my territory?
The territorial marketing transforms the endogenous resources of the territory in arguments able to attract investment, businesses, tourists and increase economic benefits in order to stimulate the development of populations and territory.
The territorial marketing also works as a lever to encourage local actors to act in partnership to develop projects to improve the supply of the territory increasing the quality and differentiation of their products.
In Advank we help the territories with our experience in the development of territorial marketing processes for balance and sustainability and working with local actors in the development of projects that achieve higher quality and differentiation of products highlighting the distinctive values of the territory.
