First, walking around the industry buildings emphasizes tightly locked placed. Second, visiting the National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University gives an impression of the close collaboration of universities and industries, yes, of knowledge and infrastructural networking more generally.

A question for #EconTwitter #Trade #ValueChain #GVC experts:

#COMTRADE/BACI and similar data sources have detailed product-level data. Is there any source or paper that tries to link these product codes with each other?

Theoretically, there should be some hierarchy in there. In… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1642277506462932994

A political deal on the #AIAct might be in reach after 10 months of negotiations 👇
RT @ZennerBXL: A #political #deal is very close due to 7/7 working weeks on technical level. Some #compromise #miracles such as #AI #definition, where we found a middle ground for two opposing views. Biggest #obstacles towards deal: #GPAI, #ValueChain, #governance, #enforcement, #ANNEXIII.

Seit Jahren roden internationale Agrarfirmen Regenwälder in Kamerun, um Kautschuk anzubauen – zum großen Teil für den europäischen Markt. Dort, in den entlegenen Regionen Zentralafrikas, befindet sich das erste Glied der Lieferkette, an deren Ende Matratzen, Schuhsohlen, Schläuche stehen, OP-Handschuhe, Kondome und vor allem Autoreifen, banale Alltagsprodukte, praktisch und reißfest.

Retail supply chains have an impact on #biodiversity and a role to play in protecting it.

According to
McKinsey, most of the impact comes from three stages in the #retail #valuechain: raw-material production, material preparation and processing and end-of-life.

#COP15 @ipbes

Downstream #duediligence in the #valuechain is a must! New paper out today setting the record straight & highlighting why it is so clear & important that #mhredd legislation (#csddd) & OECD Guidelines apply to downstream risks & business relationships. https://bit.ly/3Pw8rkS

"The more you involve #ESG into the making of a product, the more value you can give back to the communities that have extracted this product."

If you missed this message about local impact, it was a critical one at #COP27.

Logging down the #valuechain raises future #forest sustainability concerns @sfu @PNASNews https://pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2208360119 https://phys.org/news/2022-10-chain-future-forest-sustainability.html

Not much on #digital agenda in @vonderleyen's #SOTEU speech, which is not surprising. Connecting to #valuechain disruptions/dependencies, she did however announce to prioritize diversification of raw material supply, which is also critical for chips + other digital technologies👍
