Component 1. A framework for assessing how well policy supports innovation and entrepreneurship in nine key areas
City as Description
Regulator Does the city regulate business models in a way
that allows for disruptive entry?
Advocate Does the city promote itself and its small
business community to the outside world?
Customer Is procurement accessible to small businesses,
and does it actively seek out innovation?
Host Does the city use space to create opportunities
for high growth companies?
Investor Does the city invest in local businesses and in
the provision of skills?
Connector How does the city facilitate physical and digital
connectivity?
Digital leader Has the city built the internal capabilities
required to support innovation?
Digital servant Does the city use digital channels to foster high-
quality low-friction engagement with citizens?
Datavore Does the city use data to optimize services and
provide the raw material for innovation?
Each of these areas has been assessed by measuring a number of more detailed indicators.
Component 2. A diagnostic tool to help cities assess how they compare to their peers
