Wehave researched what cities around the world are doing in this area,constructed a framework of policy levers that cities can use to encourageinnovation and entrepreneurship and analysed how 40 leading cities areperforming against this framework.We will be launching a web portal in the first half of 2015 that will allowcities to compare their performance to that of their peers and to learnfrom one another about best practice from around the world.This short report outlines the approach we have taken to our research,and previews our findings for Dubai, Riyadh and Doha. City level policy for innovation and entrepreneurshipCity level policy for innovation and entrepreneurshipYoung, innovative, high growth companies play anincreasingly vital role in the economic fortunes ofcities. They have proved resilient to the downturn,and have created jobs, often in large numbers. Forexample, New York’s tech sector directly created45,000 jobs between 2003 and 2013—6 percenthigher than the average employment growth inNew York City and 12 percent higher than thenational average.1Not only are these jobs numerous, they are alsothe jobs of tomorrow, drawing on the kinds ofskills and ideas that cities will need to competein a global economy increasingly dominated bydigitally contestable markets. As a result, local techchampions and startup ecosystems have becomesymbols of urban vitality.City governments have become increasinglyactivist in their efforts to support this part oftheir economy. By looking across cities, we canobserve an emerging canon of policy instrumentsthat a growing number of cities are employingto support innovation and entrepreneurship.However, these efforts have yet to be broughttogether and analysed in a systematic way.The CITIE (City Initiatives for Technology,Innovation and Entrepreneurship) framework fillsthis gap, by codifying the policy environment forinnovation and entrepreneurship in cities. CITIEfocuses exclusively on the policy levers that citygovernments have at their disposal, and so equipscity leaders with a playbook to support innovationand entrepreneurship. There are three principalcomponents to this:1.A framework for assessing how well policysupports innovation and entrepreneurship innine key areas2.A diagnostic tool to help cities assess howthey compare to their peers3.A package of case studies containing globalbest practice across nine policy areasCITIE Practitioner View“We focus on attracting high growthtechnology startups to our city.
