Competence Atlas / Circular Value Chain Planning Services

The Competence Atlas is a geo- and map-based planning platform for capturing, categorising, analysing and visualising organisations, stakeholders and their relationships in complex ecosystems. In CSSBoost it supports circular value-chain planning and identification of collaboration opportunities.

Key Features
1

Import and combination of data from public directories, research databases and project datasets.

2

Classification of organisations by sector, type, size, roles and semantic tags.

3

Multi-dimensional semantic tagging with AND/OR/NOT search logic.

4

Interactive maps for exploring relationships, clusters and ecosystem structure.

5

Spatial search using geotags, radius searches and area filtering.

6

Role-based tag governance and traceability.

7

Continuous updates through Business.Directory and EBID-based enrichment.

Input Data Requirements

Organisation profiles combine identifiers and descriptive attributes such as sector, type, role, size and competences. Semantic tags support multi-criteria discovery, while location data supports geographical searches. The quality of matching depends on how completely and consistently organisations describe their capabilities and how tags are maintained across the contributing ecosystem.

Implemented Functions

The Competence Atlas provides a framework for mapping organisations and capabilities. A dedicated Pilot 5 instance is being developed to support circular value-chain planning. The Competence Atlas maps organisations and their capabilities within a circular-economy ecosystem. It brings together information such as sector, organisation type, role, size and competences, helping users identify actors whose capabilities may contribute to a value chain or a new cooperation opportunity. The search approach combines semantic tags with geographical information. Users can apply multiple criteria using AND/OR relationships and narrow the geographical scope through radius or area-based searches. Directory information and unique organisation identifiers support the enrichment and consistent identification of organisational profiles. Tag management is organised through roles and governance mechanisms so that the classification can be maintained across contributors.

Planned Functions

Populate and validate the Pilot 5 instance and its stakeholder/competence information.

Inputs

Organisation profiles, competences, value-chain roles, regional context and collaboration needs.

Outputs

Searchable competence information and maps to help identify potential collaboration partners.
