How we drive impact

The Centre for Experience Economy and Cities empowers business, government, and local leaders to transform cities and communities into engines of innovation, inclusion, and sustainable growth—shaping vibrant local economies that drive global prosperity and shared progress.

Building communities 

We bring together city and business leaders, civil society, and academia to exchange perspectives, explore solutions, and spur collaboration.

Guiding strategies

Our toolbox of solutions, model policies, and thought leadership help city-level stakeholders incorporate urban developments, good practices, and innovations into leadership decisions.

Driving local change

Through multi-stakeholder initiatives and actions, we provide a platform for global leaders to actively engage in strategic actions with cities, driving direct and local impact on the ground.
