Ottawa is Canada’s Capital City and it boasts a highly educated and skilled technology workforce, world-class research and higher-education institutions, strong startup ecosystems, and nearly 2,000 knowledge-based businesses. But, it takes more than that to stand out on the global stage.Invest Ottawa –the city’s leading economic development agency –recently completed its new strategic plan, which focuses on the city’s need to create local capability to be competitive in global markets, with the ultimate goal of cementing Ottawa’s status as a global technology hub.

• How can we transform the use of AI and machine learning to enable SME innovation and growth?

Innovating with Government

Semana Global do Empreendedorismo realiza atividades por todo país

Evento concentra atividades de 5 a 9 de novembro com o tema “Empreendedorismo Jovem: A Hora é Agora”

A Semana Global do Empreendedorismo (SGE) 2018, maior celebração mundial voltada para esta temática tem como mensagem principal “Empreendedorismo Jovem: A Hora é Agora”. O calendário oficial da Semana será de 5 a 9 de novembro, mas durante todo este mês o empreendedorismo será motivo de comemorações e atividades em todo país.  Três temas distintos foram definidos para nortear a semana: Mulheres, Inclusão Social e Inovação. O intuito é conectar, capacitar e inspirar o público, para que transforme ideias em iniciativas de sucesso.  Os jovens estão fazendo grandes mudanças nas formas de empreender, criando modelos flexíveis, digitais, ágeis.  O mundo dos negócios tem muito a aprender com eles, em especial com o engajamento em ações sociais, sustentáveis e justas. Jovens naturalmente compartilham informações e queremos potencializar esta troca, sempre rica e produtiva, explica, o presidente do Sebrae, Guilherme Afif Domingos.

Nesta edição – a 11ª do evento – o Sebrae assume a liderança da semana e será a anfitriã, atuando em colaboração com os demais membros do Conselho:  Aliança Empreendedora, Anjos do Brasil, Artemisia, Anprotec, Conaje, Brasil Junior, Junior Achievement e Endeavor. Juntas as instituições parceiras trabalham para ampliar o impacto do movimento. A SGE está presente em mais de 167 países e mobiliza anualmente milhares de organizações e milhões de pessoas. Nos últimos três anos, apenas no Brasil, mais de 2,5 milhões de pessoas participaram de cerca de 10 mil atividades – o que faz da SGE brasileira a maior do mundo, com sete premiações internacionais. As pessoas ou organizações interessadas em participar das ações de mobilização podem conhecer mais sobre a Semana Global e obter materiais de apoio no site do movimento: www.empreendedorismo.org.br

A Semana Global de Empreendedorismo foi criada em 2007, na Inglaterra, com o objetivo de fortalecer e disseminar a cultura empreendedora, conectando, capacitando e inspirando as pessoas a empreender. Como parte das mobilizações, são realizadas diversas atividades, de palestras a competições, com diferentes públicos e temáticas, sempre abordando o empreendedorismo de alguma forma. Esse é um grande movimento que acredita que a causa do empreendedorismo é capaz de gerar desenvolvimento econômico social e transformar realidades.

JPMorgan Chase Launches AdvancingCities, a $500 Million Initiative to Create Economic Opportunity in Cities

AdvancingCities, a first-of-its-kind corporate effort, will create a new investment fund to finance critical projects, help more people benefit from economic growth and leverage outside capital to invest a total of $1.5 billion in cities

The AdvancingCities Challenge will encourage the development of creative solutions to drive inclusive growth through collaboration between civic, business and community leaders

September 12, 2018 (New York, NY) – JPMorgan Chase today announced the creation of AdvancingCities, a new $500 million, five-year initiative to drive inclusive growth and create greater economic opportunity in cities across the world. AdvancingCities applies insights from JPMorgan Chase’s proven model for impact in Detroit, Chicago and Washington, D.C., and combines the firm’s lending capital, philanthropic capital and expertise to make investments in cities.

Based on the firm’s previous experience, JPMorgan Chase expects its AdvancingCities investment to attract an additional $1 billion in outside capital, resulting in a total of $1.5 billion directed to efforts that will increase inclusive growth in cities. The firm will invest in cities where conditions exist to help those who have not benefited from economic growth. This includes demonstrated, strong collaboration across the public and private sectors on solutions that create opportunity for people at risk of being left out of economic growth. Specifically, AdvancingCities will deploy investments and encourage creative, forward-looking solutions that create more widely shared prosperity in two ways:
AdvancingCities Challenge: JPMorgan Chase will launch a challenge to source and seed innovative solutions that help drive inclusive growth in up to 30 communities. The AdvancingCities Challenge will make investments in select cities to support collaborative and sustainable solutions that address cross-cutting challenges and help more people benefit from a growing economy. Successful proposals will support existing local coalitions of elected, business and nonprofit leaders working together to address major social and economic challenges such as employment barriers, financial insecurity, and neighborhood disinvestment. Proposals must incorporate at least two areas of focus within JPMorgan Chase’s Model for Impact. Cities interested in applying for the AdvancingCities Challenge should visit www.jpmorganchase.com/advancingcities. The RFP goes live today, September 12, and closes on November 30, 2018. Winners will be announced in the spring of 2019.
Targeted City Investments: In addition to the AdvancingCities Challenge, JPMorgan Chase intends to make large-scale investments in cities where the conditions are right for success and broader, deeper investments are needed to drive inclusive growth around the world. This fall, the firm will take this model for impact abroad and announce a new large-scale investment in a global city where the benefits of economic growth are not reaching everyone.

"Opportunity is not shared equally across neighborhoods," said Jamie Dimon, Chairman and CEO, JPMorgan Chase. "Businesses can and must step up to help change the status quo by creating a better future for all, no matter where they live. It is in our best interest and the right thing to do."

Fathomless Futures: Algorithmic and Imagines

MINI-CONFERENCE THEME PROPOSAL DEADLINE:  1 OCTOBER 2018 

 

As they have in the past years, thematic mini-conferences will form a key element of next year's annual conference in New York City, hosted by The New School for Social Research from 27-29 June 2019. Proposals are now welcome for mini-conference themes. Mini-conference themes will be selected for inclusion in the Call for Papers by the program committee, which may also propose themes of its own.  Preference will be given to proposals linked to the overarching conference theme, "Fathomless Futures: Algorithmic and Imagined," but mini-conferences on other SASE-related themes will also be considered. 

Proposals for mini-conference themes must be submitted electronically to the SASE Executive Director by 1 October 2018. All mini-conference proposals should include the name(s) and email addresses of the organizer(s), together with a brief description. As in previous years, each mini-conference will consist of 3 to 6 panels, which will be featured as a separate stream in the program. Each panel will have a discussant, meaning that selected participants must submit a completed paper in advance, by 27 May 2019. If a paper proposal cannot be accommodated within a mini-conference, organizers will forward it to the most appropriate research network as a regular submission.

SASE is committed to diverse membership and lively intellectual debates, and encourages proposals that are offered by a diverse group of organizers and/or are likely to bring a diverse group of participants.
