Presentation by Bruce Katz, Vice President of the Brookings Institution and Director of the Metropolitan Policy Program, at the Atlanta Regional Commission's 2012 State of the Region Breakfast
1. The document discusses opportunities for boosting exports from the Atlanta region. It notes that Atlanta is already a major exporter but lags in export intensity and growth compared to other metro areas.
2. Metro areas play a unique role in boosting exports through organizing trade missions, coordinating federal, state, and local export programs, and mainstreaming exports. An export plan could help double Atlanta's exports in five years.
3. The plan would target key industries, develop strategies to leverage major exporters and improve support for small businesses. It would also work to develop networks and position Atlanta as globally engaged.
Presentation built in the context of a real estate class taken at Brandeis International Business School.
In the perspective of a meeting with investors, the presentation was created to help gather investments of $100M split between three projects in China.

The world’s high net worth individuals (HNWIs) regained ground despite weakness in the world economy, according to the 14th annual World Wealth Report from Merrill Lynch Global Wealth Management and Capgemini. The world’s population of HNWIs returned to 10 million in 2009 and HNWI financial wealth increased 18.9% to $39 trillion. Ultra-HNWIs increased their wealth by 21.5% in 2009.
The World Wealth Report covers 71 countries in the market-sizing model, accounting for more than 98% of global gross national income and 99% of world stock market capitalization. The report has built a strong and lasting reputation as the industry benchmark for HNWIs market sizing—originally at a global and regional level but increasingly at a country level.

This document discusses building an innovation economy in Peru. It outlines that while Peru has experienced strong economic growth in recent decades based on natural resources and open markets, it has not yet established the foundations for an innovation-driven economy. The document proposes that Peru must now focus on building innovative capacity, transitioning from microenterprises to innovation-based entrepreneurship, and harnessing the power of cluster-driven economic strategies. This will help Peru move to the next stage of economic development beyond its current resource-led growth model.
This document outlines Telecom Italia's 2012-2014 plan for its subsidiary TIM Brasil. It summarizes TIM Brasil's strong growth over the past three years in key metrics like customer base, revenues, EBITDA, and market share. The plan aims to continue this momentum by pursuing three strategies: community expansion to grow the customer base to 90 million lines, leveraging the "Voice is Good" and "Internet for All" concepts to increase voice usage and data adoption, and capitalizing on the fixed-mobile substitution opportunity in Brazil through fiber investments. The integration of TIM's mobile network with AES Atimus' fiber infrastructure will allow TIM to offer broadband and WiFi services nationwide to further its
Economic Research Initative Issue #6 Findings and ConclusionsLuis Nieves-Ruiz
The document summarizes the findings of a study on major industry clusters and economic drivers in Orange County, Florida. It identifies four key clusters: healthcare, floriculture/nursery, modeling/simulation/training, and tourism. The healthcare cluster contains over 40,000 jobs across three sub-clusters along Orange Avenue and Colonial Drive. The floriculture/nursery cluster in northwest Orange County contains around 2,500 jobs but may be threatened by suburbanization. The modeling/simulation/training cluster contains over 20,000 jobs in technical fields and appears to be the only true technology cluster.
India has a population of over 1.2 billion people and a GNI per capita of $1,270. 37% of Indians live below the national poverty line.

The economy grew at an average annual rate of 8% from 2000-2010, with services and manufacturing being the largest sectors. Exports and imports grew at average annual rates of 14.7% and 15.9% respectively over the same period.
This document discusses inner city economic development and related federal policies. It analyzes data showing that inner cities lag the rest of their regions in job and business growth. Inner cities struggle with high poverty, unemployment, and lower wages compared to national averages. The document recommends federal policy approaches to strengthen inner city economies by focusing on workforce training, infrastructure improvements, capital access, and supporting industry clusters well-suited to inner cities. Specific policies proposed include increasing intensive training for low-skilled inner city residents, linking training to local industry needs and competitive advantages, and addressing inner city infrastructure weaknesses that hamper regional economic efficiency.

Similar to Brookings Metropolitan Policy Program: Global Cities Initiative, San Diego (20)
The document discusses global cities and their competitiveness. It identifies seven types of global cities based on their population, GDP, talent, traded sectors, innovation, infrastructure, industry characteristics, and economic characteristics. The first type discussed are "Global Giants," which are the largest global cities by population and GDP that play a dominant role in the global economy.
The document discusses changes in US manufacturing employment from 1980 to 2010, with 7 million jobs lost. However, manufacturing is not declining but reinventing itself through new paradigms of sharing brainpower in open, collaborative innovation districts and the development of a new branch of the economy focused on smart products and new production methods leveraging technologies like sensors, wireless IT, and big data. Examples are given of former "rustbelt" cities like Akron, Albany, and Research Triangle Park transforming into "brainbelts" by building on research strengths in areas like polymers, nanotechnology, and attracting talent through university collaborations and venture capital investment in advanced manufacturing.

Rhode Island innovates: A competitive strategy for the Ocean State
In the fall and winter of 2015–2016, the Metropolitan Policy Program at Brookings worked in association with Battelle Technology Partnership Practice (now TEConomy Partners, LLC) and Monitor Deloitte to advance a new competitive strategy for the state of Rhode Island.
This slideshow summary of the project’s final conclusions finds that Rhode Island possesses unique assets for building an advanced economy that works for all but stands weakened by the decline of its core “advanced industries.” Given that erosion, the slideshow asserts that five advanced industry and two “opportunity industry” growth areas hold out solid potential for growth in the Ocean State and recommends that Rhode Island should embark on a three-part strategy to strengthen its advanced industries and improve its statewide platform for growth.

The document discusses advanced industries, which are R&D-intensive industries that concentrate the nation's STEM workforce. Advanced industries include industries like pharmaceuticals, aerospace, software, and telecommunications. They account for over half of US GDP and private sector R&D spending and offer high wages even for jobs requiring less than a bachelor's degree. Advanced industries are concentrated in major metropolitan areas and drive regional specialization and innovation ecosystems across the US.
This document discusses strategies for metropolitan economic development. It provides examples of initiatives in Denver, Portland, and St. Louis that have created regional collaboration, increased exports, and developed innovation districts. These "game changers" fundamentally altered the economic profiles and performance of their metros. The document advocates for creating metropolitan networks and setting a vision to drive growth in areas like human capital, manufacturing, and clean economy jobs.
Presentation by Bruce Katz, VP of the Brookings Institution, on February 5 2015 in Washington DC.

Innovation and STEM-worker (science, technology, engineering, and math) intensive “advanced industries” are the prime movers of regional and national economic competitiveness in the United States. Industries like aerospace and auto, oil and gas extraction, or software and health IT stand at the forefront of the most disruptive technological and business dynamics of the moment, and will be central to U.S. prosperity going forward.
To consider the future of these industries, the Brookings Institution’s Metropolitan Policy Program hosted a major CEOs forum highlighting the importance of the nation’s advanced industries and the opportunities and challenges they face. Informed by new research from Brookings, the morning-long dialogue convened advanced industry CEOs as well as elected officials to discuss the increased viability of the U.S. platform for advanced industry investment as well as the extraordinary technology trends now altering the terms of competition.

__________
At its optimistic best, America has embraced its identity as the world’s melting pot. Today it is on the cusp of becoming a country with no racial majority, and new minorities are poised to exert a profound impact on U.S. society, economy, and politics.
Through a compelling narrative and eye-catching charts and maps, eminent demographer William H. Frey interprets and expounds on the dramatic growth of minority populations in the United States. He finds that without these expanding groups, America could face a bleak future: this new generation of young minorities, who are having children at a faster rate than whites, is infusing our aging labor force with vitality and innovation.
Diversity Explosion shares the good news about diversity in the coming decades, and the more globalized, multiracial country that U.S. is becoming.

This presentation opened the 2014 Global Cities Initiative study tour of Munich, Germany, on November 18 2014.
The document discusses advanced industries in the United States and Germany. It finds that since the recession, the U.S. has been missing over 5 million jobs compared to pre-recession levels. Advanced industries make up a significant portion of the U.S. and German economies, but Germany invests more in research and has stronger workforce training systems like apprenticeships. The document argues the U.S. could benefit from adopting policies and institutions that strengthen regional innovation ecosystems like those in Germany.
This document discusses the importance of metropolitan regions and regional collaboration. It notes that metro areas generate the majority of economic output and population in the US. Several case studies of regional partnerships are provided, like Denver which passed a sales tax increase to fund a $4.2 billion light rail expansion across its metro area. The document argues that states should take a regional approach to economic development by creating networks of leaders across different sectors, setting a shared vision for growth, and identifying game-changing initiatives to fundamentally alter the region's economic trajectory.
The geography of innovation is shifting and a new model for innovative growth is emerging. In contrast to suburban corridors of isolated corporate campuses, innovation districts combine research institutions, innovative firms and business incubators with the benefits of urban living. These districts have the unique potential to spur productive, sustainable, and inclusive economic development.
On September 9, 2014, Brookings Vice President Bruce Katz presented a keynote to the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce's annual ForeCast SF event.
The document discusses the rise of innovation districts in America as a new model for fostering innovation. Innovation districts are geographic areas where anchor institutions, companies, startups, and business accelerators cluster and connect. They are physically compact, transit-accessible, and offer mixed-use housing, offices, and retail. Examples mentioned include Cambridge-MIT, Philadelphia-University City, and St. Louis-CORTEX. The key components that make innovation districts successful are their economic, physical, and networking assets as well as the overall innovation ecosystem.
