Next Economy Regional Forum

Leaders from more than 250 private and public organizations in the SACRAMENTO REGION have come together under the banner of NEXT ECONOMY to strategize and take JOINT ACTION to accelerate job and business growth and draw new investment here. Through extensive RESEARCH we are identifying specific and actionable GROWTH opportunities within unique BUSINESS CLUSTERS where we have a true COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE. Next Economy is focused on TRANSFORMATIVE actions that will:

• Encourage innovation, new business creation, capital formation and the scaling up of key industry sectors in the region, and through enhanced trade, link the region to the outside world;
• Remove unnecessary impediments that slow business investment and job creation; and
• Ensure the regional workforce acquires the education and skills needed for the jobs that will be in demand in the Next Economy.

The May 4 REGIONAL FORUM will unveil NEW STRATEGIES that are emerging from dozens of work sessions; invite public input on ACTIONS we should take to fulfill the vision of the CAPITAL REGION PROSPERITY PLAN to be published this summer; and continue region-wide efforts to MOBILZE joint action to jump start our economic recovery and improve the lives of the region’s 2.3 million residents..

The event is FREE, but registration is REQUIRED to obtain a campus parking permit.
