The 2024 edition of the OECD Local Development Forum headed to the Greater Copenhagen Region under the theme "Building bridges, shaping tomorrow". This annual meeting gathered local development practitioners, policy makers, and stakeholders to exchange insights, strategies, and innovative solutions for shaping resilient and inclusive communities of the future.
Participants had the chance to discuss trending topics such as collaborating across borders, expanding local innovation and addressing local skills shortages. They explored strategies for transforming places and leveraging local assets to drive sustainable development. Through plenary sessions, workshops and site visits in not one but two different countries, they discovered how communities are fostering inclusive innovation ecosystems and empowering people, places and firms to thrive.
