The New Innovation Economy
Powered by the rapid proliferation of technology, data, and mobility, The New Innovation Economy has quickly become a mainstream concept, emphasizing entrepreneurship, creativity and ideas as the drivers for increased productivity and future growth. This new economic model both disrupts traditional approaches to economic and workforce development but also offers new opportunities and entry points for individuals and communities to compete in the global market place. And as cities, counties and states work to position themselves in an increasingly networked and globalized framework, there also is renewed emphasis on the role of place-making and community wealth building. In this session, we will explore new directions in education, workforce development, and economic planning, as well as new cross-sector and regional collaborations to help keep California’s edge in the innovation economy.

- Rick Cole, City Manager, City of Santa Monica, California

- Michael Tosh, Director, US State and Local Public Sector, PwC
