OECD Trento Centre (Italy)

We provide policy advice and develop capacities for the effective design and implementation of policies that are tailored to local needs and focused on the key drivers of local economic growth and well-being in OECD Member and non-Member countries

Build your local development capacities

The OECD Trento Centre for Local Development offers a rich institution and capacity building agenda dedicated to policy makers and practitioners in the fields of spatial productivity, culture and integrated local development, allowing them to acquire practical knowledge needed to achieve policy goals.

The OECD Trento Centre was established by the OECD, the Italian Government and the Autonomous Province of Trento (Italy) in 2003. Together with its Venice office created in 2015, it is an integral part of the OECD Centre for Entreprenuership, SMEs, Regions and Cities.
