Share Your Thoughts on Federal Economic Development Efforts at SSTI's Conference
During a lively discussion session — Recent Federal Efforts: What's Happened, What's Working and What Should Change — SSTI will bring together the members of the economic development community to review what the federal government has done, how it has worked for the tech-based economic development community, and what changes should be made to improve the federal programs. Whether it's multi-agency initiatives such as the i6 Challenge Jobs and Innovation Accelerator Challenge or single agency activity at the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, and the Small Business Administration, the federal government's involvement in encouraging economic growth through science, technology and innovation has escalated in recent years. This session will give you the opportunity to share your thoughts on their successes, failures and what they can do better. Learn more about this session by visiting the conference website.
