“Through the OECD’s efforts to explore approaches for Achieving Cross-Border Government Innovation, we surfaced nearly 250 compelling examples of new forms of transnational collaboration. Yet, we profiled the CivTech Alliance and the Global Scale-Up Programme because they are unique in the way they demonstrate successful, structured approaches for managing the full innovation lifecycle in a cross-border context—from ideas generation, through experimentation, and scaling up proven cases. We continue to take a keen interest in their progress, as the government teams involved have managed to overcome a variety of challenges that come with working across jurisdictions, cultures, and approaches. This report provides useful insights into the competencies and conditions required to execute a global innovation programme, which we look forward to integrating into our own work.”
