CODIL
COVID-Disrupted Regional Innovation Ecosystems
Project summary
ABOUT CODIL
CODIL aims to improve regional innovation policy instruments to better support the emerging distributed-team innovation model and its key component - highly skilled mobile knowledge workers.
As the nature of innovation has fundamentally changed, policy instruments that support innovation must also change if they are to effectively support this changed post-COVID innovation ecosystem. The overwhelming factor enabling and making the changes possible is the increased deployment of new applications of digital technologies in the innovation process itself.
- At CODIL, we specifically address how the revolution in the way highly skilled knowledge workers now collaborate, enabled by disruptive technology, impacts our regional innovation patterns and models;
- We recognise that policy choices that can attract knowledge workers are key for a successful innovation trajectory for the region;
- We demonstrate how selective development of regional competences in disruptive technology can also enhance innovation performance.
All this, to create innovation responsive policy instruments able to attract and retain knowledge workers in our regions and ensure the vibrancy of the innovation ecosystem.

What will this project change
We strive to make our regions attractive for high value mobile workers and improve the inclusiveness and resilience of the digital innovation ecosystem.
Our partnership seeks to provide a mix of space solutions, training and education to attract digital investment and provide access to the disruptive digital services and technology needed to ensure the survival of companies in each region’s target sectors and clusters.
Our ultimate goal is to improve regional policy instruments and create an enabling environment for the distributed-team innovation model across European regions.
