Municipalities & Regions
Amidst aging populations, resource scarcity, and pressure to deliver healthcare, mobility, energy, civil security and social inclusion, municipalities need to do more with less. AI is a possible solution, but there are major risks in utilising AI in critical sectors, ranging from safety and security to rising costs, vendor lock-in and a loss of sovereignty (see research report).
In Denmark, Version2 and DR reported that municipal payments for certain software licenses increased over 70% between 2018 and 2023 (DR, 19.02.2024). Few municipalities have sufficient resources and expertise to cope with all these challenges alone.
Through VentureNet, municipalities and regions can collaborate with experts, public and private sector partners on shared infrastructure and innovation projects for smart and sustainable communities.

Clusters / Accelerators
Industry clusters, professional associations, business incubators and accelerator programs can play a valuable role as integrators and enablers for companies and regions.
Research across 2950 regions in Europe found that businesses in regional industry clusters were on average 25% more productive, while high-performing clusters were 140% more productive than businesses without clusters (EOCIC 2020; ECCP 2021, 2024).
Cluster organisations can use VentureNet as a partner and platform to interconnect industry, research, capital, and markets across industry sectors, regions and network “silos”, thereby increasing “network effects”, revenue/cost synergies and economies of scale.
