The CFI National Roundtable on Innovation Economics is designed to address the main economic development policy questions surrounding the promotion of innovation economics.
The topic of innovation economic development is controversial because it competes with the existing model of economic development that is based on the global imperative of low costs and open global borders.
The existing model has entrenched financial interests that are committed to the maintenance of the status quo way of doing things.
Unfortunately, for many ordinary Americans, the old way of doing economic development, including the use of industrial recruitment incentives, does not work anymore, and jobs and lives are being wasted as a result of the delay in moving to the new innovation economic platform.
