Dear New England ENTOVATION
Colleagues:
With the flurry of spring activity comes an opportunity for us to
reconnect and exchange notes on progress. Radio announcements begin
today, so I want to make sure our 'friends' are included in the
event. Many have already confirmed with Greg Calkins - greg@calkinsadvisors.com
- to be in attendance; so please make your reservation as soon as
possible.
Even since the first announcement, several significant things have
happened:
-
Some colleagues have been (re) discovered.
-
The Milken Institute’s State Technology and Science Index gave
the #1 spotlight to Massachusetts.
-
The European Union has announced 14 projects on the topic -
linking knowledge and innovation to economic development.
-
The US Council on Competitiveness announced its June conference on
the topic.
-
The Richard Florida Creativity Index is creating waves at home and
abroad.
-
A select group of local experts are ready to convene a state
initiative on the topic. Are you?
This event on the 19th will, indeed, be a 'power debriefing' -
something difficult to replicate otherwise. So, please plan to join
and add your own expertise and insights to how we can build
sustainable enterprises, leadership and customer innovation in this
evolving Knowledge Economy.
See below and see you there…
Debra
P.S. All participants receive a copy of The Innovation SuperHighway...and
more!
