Wintjes, René & Fernando Vargas, Jul 2023, Digital Innovation Hubs: Insights from European Experience in Supporting Business Digitalization, This study analyzes data from over 300 DIHs in Europe, revealing that university-affiliated DIHs offer sophisticated services, such as collaborative research and testing facilities, while industry-affiliated DIHs focus on activities closer to the market, including mentoring and ecosystem building. Three case studies show that establishing a DIH is not achieved overnight but is instead a learning and improvement process; that a DIH evolves in response to regional needs and assets; and that DIHs require reliable funding for their development, particularly public financing, in their early stages, More information

Bartzokas, Anthony, Jul 2023, Financial Innovation and Multilateral Development Banks, The ongoing policy debate on the global investment gap for sustainability is focusing on the mobilisation of available capital for the scaling up of investment. This Policy Brief considers to what extent international financial institutions can play a catalytic role in the effectiveness of this exercise with innovative products and proactive capacity building in the Global South. It is proposed that a financial innovation transfer channel from multilateral development banks (MDBs) to financial institutions in developing countries (estimated balance sheet US$ 600 billion and US$ 9,600 billion respectively) be opened up in five areas, i.e. loan syndications, lending facilities, private equity participation, infrastructure project de-risking, and balance sheet optimisation. The climate change agenda is an opportunity for a streamlined approach on the diffusion of financial innovation. Expected benefits are procedure related (efficiency and access to underserved markets) and product related (for example, with the aggregation of financial transactions supporting climate finance adaptation), More information
