European cities are facing considerable challenges

Some challenges are newer than others

COVID-19 Recession
The covid-19 will lead to higher unemployment rates. Those who can least afford to lose their jobs are the ones who`ll be hit the hardest.
Income inequality
This will in all likelihood increase income inequality and poverty, which already is a challenge in many cities.
From unemployed to self-employed
If history is a guide the increase in unemployment will lead to more necessity entrepreneurship. It is vital that the right policies are put in place, so that as many of the new entrepreneurs can succeed.

These challenges can be solved with implementing create effective labour and innovation policies based on data and best practice. For many unemployed people, especially migrants, entrepreneurship will be the way out. Supporting founders can lead to higher labour participation, stronger economic growth, lower crime rates and social costs.

With informed decisions cities will thrive.

Most cities have parts of this model in place. However, they lack one crucial part, or do not have efficient and clear information flowing between the key players in the ecosystem.
