Advancing Economic Development and Workforce Readiness in Micropolitan Areas
April 25, 2018
Hine Hall, 875 W North Street in Indianapolis
Indianapolis, Indiana
We invite you to join Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb, Bloomington Mayor John Hamilton, and IU Provost Lauren Robel, along with academic experts, business leaders, and senior federal and state officials to explore the challenge and opportunities for expanding innovation-led job growth and economic dynamism to smaller communities across the State of Indiana.
Indiana’s micropolitan regions include significant centers of population and production, as well as research and educational organizations, and draw talent and technical capabilities from a wide local area. But they require different networking strategies than traditional urban clusters.The workshop’s panels and discussions will consider policies to more effectively network local resources across a varied geography and connect them to broader ecosystems and national and global innovation networks.
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are private, nonprofit institutions that provide expert advice on some of the most pressing challenges facing the nation and the world. Our work helps shape sound policies, inform public opinion, and advance the pursuit of science, engineering, and medicine.
