ECONOMIC COORDINATION IN THE BAY AREA – Dr. David Wolfe, Co-Director, Innovation Policy Lab, Munk School of Global Affairs, University of Toronto

In this presentation, Dr. Wolfe encourages local leaders from all sectors to accelerate intentional intercity cooperation needed to help strengthen the Bay Area’s position within a rapidly evolving “innovation triangle” spanning key cities in Southern Ontario. He calls for the development of a cohesive and compelling Bay Area narrative and a marketing initiative to share our story with key provincial and national policy-makers and influencers.

Dr. David Wolfe is an internationally recognized leader in the study of competitive city regions and the geography of innovation. He is introduced by Suzanne Mammel, Executive Officer of the Hamilton-Halton Home Builders’ Association. [presentation and slides]
