European Bank for Reconstruction and Development

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) was established to help build a new, post-Cold War era in Central and Eastern Europe. It has since played a historic role and gained unique expertise in fostering change in the region - and beyond -, investing more than €130 billion in a total of over 5,200 projects. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) invests in changing lives through our projects, business services and involvement in high-level policy reform across three continents.

      The “knowledge economy” (KE) is a concept of economic development, in which innovation and access to information drive productivity growth. New trends, such as the Internet of Things or digitalisation, are examples of the transition towards to the knowledge economy. Building the key pillars required to stimulate knowledge-economy development is therefore central to achieving long-term competitiveness. To measure KE development, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has constructed the EBRD Knowledge Economy Index, spanning 46 economies – 38 where the EBRD invests and eight comparators.
