During the training, participants explored how to transform data from a routine reporting tool into a comprehensive resource for informed decision-making and management. The discussion covered:
- using data to prepare and substantiate regional projects;
- basic statistical tools for decision-making;
- creating and maintaining a regional business database;
- conducting market research and short business surveys;
- managing the Agency’s project portfolio;
- assessing regional, institutional, and project risks;
- the capabilities of KAPtech for collecting, structuring, analyzing, and monitoring data.
Particular attention was paid to practical work. The teams of both Agencies identified processes that could be improved through the use of data and developed ideas for future pilot solutions.
For us, this is an opportunity to strengthen our approach to working with data and use it more systematically in our work with businesses, project development, and regional development planning.
