Goals / Remit
Orkestra, as a line or initiative of the DF, aims to study competitiveness and territorial development from its different research laboratories with objectives:
- Contribute to the improvement of the Basque Country's competitiveness
- Promote the improvement of citizens' wellbeing
- Create knowledge of regional competitiveness
This type of research is defined by analysis, reflection, evaluation and the proposal of actions, in a permanent form, aimed at providing innovative answers for the resolution of the challenges considered, while research knowledge is acquired.
To this end Orkestra, who since its beginnings has been an example of success in public-private cooperation, works with a large number of networks, businesses, governments and institutions on numerous projects. In this way, aside from being an agent of change to drive competitiveness in the Basque Country, it has (...)Main EU files targeted
Orkestra is internationally recognised competitiveness framework for wellbeing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEoAoWGBOjs) , Orkestra carries out a dynamic diagnosis of the Basque Country and identifies its challenges. These are complex challenges, which is why tackling them requires collaboration and commitment by every stakeholder in the territory, including the public administration, businesses, academia, and citizens. For this reason, the institute works closely with the agents who have a direct impact on the challenges of competitiveness and wellbeing in the Basque Country, by designing research agendas and projects jointly with its collaborating entities. We also participate in international projects related to our main research lines with a wide range of partners in other territories and international organizations such as the European Commission and OECD (https://www.orkestra.deusto.es/en/research/research-projects)
