GVC mapping is an enabler in the policy implementation process, collecting evidence both for the supply and the demand side in a region, and identifying the lead business actors that can drive the value chain integration.

The BCNED methodology for value chain mapping is based on the use of comprehensive dataset of firms including local SMEs, multinational enterprises and foreign subsidiaries. Extensive firm datasets enable the identification of industry segments and boundaries, and critical mass of capabilities at regional and national level. The mapping uses a portfolio of complementary analytical techniques, exploring inter-industry relationships and strategic value chain groups.
