Dr. Mikel Navarro<\/a>, professor in Economics at the University of Deusto and Senior Researcher of Orkestra-Basque Institute for Competitiveness<\/a>, talked about \u201cStrategy, Industry and Local Development\u201d in his closing speech at the 19th General Council of the Industrial Pact. Navarro pointed out that multi-level governance is key to territorial economic development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his speech, Navarro highlighted the importance of having a well-defined strategy for territorial economic development that \u201cmust not only be limited to a cluster development policy\u201d. Navarro pointed out that territories are complex systems – that already imply governance problems- and the challenge they face is to create shared visions and to select a limited number of priorities. The professor used the Basque Country as an example, where despite the changes in government, there has been continuity in industrial policies. He also highlighted the need to include the whole society, including the financial system, in the process of defining territorial strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navarro also defended multi-level governance for economic development, which requires coordination between all the administrative levels. \u201cEach territorial level should have its strategy\u201d, but he emphasized that it is fundamental that they are in line with each other and coordinated from a vertical territorial viewpoint, just as Europe requests. The professor also pointed out that in recent years, management concepts have been incorporated into the territorial framework – competitiveness, strategy, etc – and he described the differences between business strategies and territorial ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navarro wrapped up his final speech mentioning Orkestra-the Basque Institute for Competitiveness, the institution in which he carries out his research, created from the Deusto Foundation. Navarro stressed that the good functioning of the Institution is based on its independence and international connections, thanks to a team of professionals from several different countries. Orkestra analyses the territorial competitiveness of the Basque Country from an international perspective while answering to local challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
