7


Our Background

Set up in the 70’s to channel resources to areas affected by industrial crisis, Regional Development Agencies initially carried out mainly financial intervention. The inefficiency of top-‐ down state interventions and local “welferism” policies led way to new bottom-‐up approaches.

During the past two decades local development called for public-‐private partnership, multi-‐level governance and enhancement of local capabilities and potentials.

8


A broader scope.

Sviluppumbria accomplishes its scope by: • Designing and offering a wider range of financial and other technical services to public and private actors, aimed at economic development and employment growth;

• Taking on a more comprehensive promotional role, fostering integration and coordination of local institution, associations, universities, research centers and other public and private local actors to promote local competitiveness

Multifunction AgencyMore efficient than specialized ones

10


Sviluppumbria: a multi-‐function agency

Multi-‐task agencies prove more efficient than specialized ones, since territorial competitiveness is influenced by various factors belonging to different policy areas. On the other hand multi-‐tasking agencies call for more coordination with other regional actors in order to avoid competence overlaps and duplication of activities.

International networks

Sviluppumbria is involved in many international programs that support endogenous local development.

The Italian experience -‐ based on the so called “negotiated planning”, on SMEs, on clusters , on co-‐operative production, on public-‐private dialogue and on Non-‐profit sector involvement -‐ is our best practice.

21


From development aid to internationalization

Sviluppumbria is now oriented towards new forms of international strategic partnership with emerging economies, favoring technical assistance and exchange of best practices between local bodies and private actors, promoting capitalization of local development policies and tools and setting off mutual development processes.
