The aim of the Smart Economic Planning and Industrial Policy (SEPIP) Conference is to bring together researchers, practitioners, regulators, and policymakers from around the globe to share results of academic studies, exchange views, share experiences, and discuss fresh ideas on industrial policy, economic planning, and related contemporary tools to support economic development and national competitiveness.
