Study Trip on Diversification and Innovation Policies


The EPF study trip on “Diversification and Innovation Policies” to Germany and the Netherlands on 17-24 September was part of a series of international workshops, conferences and study tours addressing the different aspects of economic policies to promote diversification within the EPF Policy Initiative on Innovation and Economic Diversification for resource-rich emerging economies. The study trip brought together representatives from emerging resource-rich economies, including Azerbaijan, Brazil, Chile, and South Africa. The participating think tank and government representatives visited various institutions in the two countries to gain insights into strategies of policy-making, systems of governance encouraging economic diversification, and the role of think tanks in Europe. In addition, they had the opportunity to exchange experiences and best practices, network with German and Dutch think tanks, and engage in joint policy research initiatives.
