| The Green Knowledge Economy (GKE) – we coined this term and developed a model/framework for understanding the GKE as an exciting, forward looking area for technological, organisational and social innovation. Geoeconomics has developed a unique set of research and policy tools for creating GKE economic development strategies. We network with universities, international think tanks and other research institutions and disseminate the results of project research through our website, publications and conference papers. |
Social Enterprise and Investment– we carry out market research on the development of business models that deliver positive social and environmental benefits alongside financial returns. We also examine investment trends in socially-driven businesses. Our interest lies in transforming markets in support of poverty eradication and environmental sustainability. A major focus of our work is microfinance – developing financial markets that serve the poor. |
Corporate Responsibility – we research state of the art ideas and practice in the sustainable economic development domain of corporate responsibility. This research has led to the development of our corporate economic and socialiImpact assessment tools. Geoeconomics has successfully applied these powerful new tools to help global firms to understand, assess and profile their local economic contributions with respect to skills and learning, ICT, innovation, entrepreneurship, supply-chain linkages and public-private partnerships. |
