Action Summit Strategies:

• Marketing to and connecting with key partners in business and government from outside the region in a highly focused and purposeful manner;
• Formulating actionable strategies by answering the central question: what do we do next to make our community or region an epicenter of research, development, commercialization or manufacturing in a particular economic or technology sector that holds considerable economic potential.
