Insights for the Next Economy
How can America's middle-tier cities become hubs for innovation?
Knowing city and institutional leaders are seeking new ways to improve resiliency, build on their assets and support the talent we know drives local economies, Waymaker Group and SmithGroup have come together to outline some immediate steps city and institutional leaders can take to initiate or advance innovation ecosystems in their markets.
