On 10-11 December 2019, the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) is hosting the 2019 OECD Local Development Forum in Antwerp, Belgium. 
 
The 2019 Forum will bring together hundreds of local development practitioners, entrepreneurs and social innovators to share good practices about how employment and skills programmes are meeting employer demand (especially SMEs), what’s being done to help people and places catch-up, and how social innovation can be leveraged to create an inclusive local economy. The theme of the 2019 forum is "Right Skills, Right Jobs, Right Places" and will bring together over 300 participants who will take away new insights on:
  • How are the skills needs of firms (especially SMEs) changing due to automation and digitalisation?
  • How can regions and cities promote lifelong learning and engage those who are either unemployed or not seeking employment?
  • How can social innovation help to advance local development opportunities while building sustainable and enabling labour markets?

This 2-day event gathers partners from national government, local authorities, employment agencies, businesses and NGOs.
