This document provides an overview of building inclusive competitiveness in Metro Detroit. It discusses how an economic crisis undermined Detroit's competitiveness and triggered new thought, advocacy, policy, investment and market responses to create an innovation ecosystem. However, black and Hispanic communities and businesses remain disconnected from this ecosystem. The document argues that no region can increase competitiveness without also growing the right people, and outlines solutions like developing "trim tab" practices among individuals and organizations to better include black and Hispanic communities in Metro Detroit's innovation economy.

Issues of race in America can be sensitive and uncomfortable. Most people avoid or limit them. This practice has unfortunately limited our knowledge of racial issues and undermined our ability to empower youth with empathetic understanding and capacity to redesign, reshape and reconstruct society for a 21st century multicultural Inclusive America. This workshop offers a unique insight with resources and tools for participants to become comfortable with issues of race and empowered to teach others.

Clark Atlanta University will host the nation's first summit focused on the combined issues of Economic inclusion and Economic Competitiveness on April 22-23.
(Inclusive Competitiveness: empowering underrepresented populations to compete in the innovation economy)
The top priorities of the nation in every presidential election are the economy and jobs. This election is no exception. But summit asks the question, who will create the jobs of tomorrow? The answer is surprising. Minority entrepreneurs (i.e. women, black and Hispanic Americans) represent the fastest rate of entrepreneurial growth in America. These prospective job creators remain disconnected from valuable resources they need to scale up their efforts and produce successful businesses that grow jobs. This summit introduces solutions to this economic problem.

What is Inclusive Competitiveness and why is it possibly the defining issue of a 21st century generation? The term competitiveness is ubiquitous in its use among economic development planners and policymakers, yet virtually unheard of outside of sports. But the demographic shifts of the nation require raised awareness of why economic competitiveness must now become more inclusive.
Journalism That Matters and the University of Oregon Agora Journalism Center have partnered with Mike Green, co-founder of ScaleUp Partners, to produce the first-ever Conversation on Inclusive Competitiveness (empowering underrepresented populations to compete in the Innovation Economy). The intersection of important community issues and the journalists who tell these stories creates quite a conversation around what's important to communities and what appears in media (or doesn't).
What are the conditions for success for 3 million black kids ages 10-13 in public school today? African American students are consistently struggling to overcome systemic problems inherent in broken systems that influence and impact them daily: family, schools and churches. As innocent victims of adult systemic biases, these kids seek brighter futures. But how can we help? Here's food for thought.
Inclusive Competitiveness: Empowering underrepresented populations to improve their productivity performance to compete in the 21st century innovation economy.
The US is facing a growing economic inclusion crisis. Ironically, Mississippi may be able to provide leadership, given it has a long history of experience with a growing minority-majority population against a backdrop of economic exclusion and low levels of access to opportunity. If we can resolve the economic crisis in Mississippi, we can avert a looming economic crisis in America.

Inclusive Competitiveness: Empowering Underrepresented Ohioans to Compete in ...ScaleUp Partners LLC
The Ohio Board of Regents on Oct. 14, 2014 unanimously adopted the report Inclusive Competitiveness: Empowering Underrepresented Ohioans to Compete in the Innovation Economy. The action marked a turning point in the history of America from an exclusive economic landscape of the past toward a future frontier of economic inclusion.
Johnathan Holifield is both architect and author of this extraordinary vision and strategy of Inclusive Competitiveness that is now statewide policy in Ohio, a perennial political battleground state.This bipartisan embracing of a shared economic vision will be inculcated throughout the Ohio system of higher education.
Indeed, this is historic news and worth of emulation by all states across America.
ScaleUp Partners is America's only economic development consultancy focused on inculcating Inclusive Competitiveness: improving the competitive performance of underrepresented populations in the innovation economy.
Our approach relies upon three priorities:
1. Changing the economic narrative across underrepresented populations in urban and rural regions
2. Inculcating Inclusive Competitiveness policies and strategies in regions across the U.S.
3. Connecting economically disconnected communities to local innovation ecosystems and economic opportunity
We believe:
STEAM education (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) is a critical educational prerequisite to access the dual pipelines of productivity:
A. High-wage, tech-based workforce
B. High-growth, tech-driven entrepreneurship
ScaleUp Partners assists regions in achieving their economic competitiveness goals through development of Inclusive Competitiveness strategies and frameworks.
We work with educational institutions, foundations, policymakers, elected leadership, tech-based economic development organizations, community development organizations, small businesses, entrepreneurs, funders and equity investors, and regional development organizations nationwide.
ScaleUp America Meeting on Inclusive Tech-Innovation & EntrepreneurshipScaleUp Partners LLC
ScaleUp America is convening an invitation-only gathering of innovation advocates, entrepreneurs, journalists and investors at the Sheraton Boston on July 31 during the National Association of Black Journalists Convention. This Catalytic Conversation is for those interested in collaboration and advancing the pipeline of minority media and tech entrepreneurship.
Nearly every major metro region in America is experiencing great economic stress. Amazingly, stakeholders in every region are disconnected, disjointed and unable to effectively communicate. There exists no common vision, strategy or framework for including and empowering all of the region's residents.
Local innovation ecosystems are fragmented, with leaders operating in their own independent silos. And historically underserved and disconnected peoples and communities are so far behind they are losing ground daily as the explosive growth of innovation hubs and the startup culture threatens to leave them behind permanently.
The Innovation Economy Epiphany Workshop introduces the BIG PICTURE in a way that all audiences can clearly understand. In this workshop, the key issues of a common local vision, common understanding, common strategies, inclusive frameworks and open collaboration are threaded throughout.
But how do we develop a common vision, common understanding, and a strategic approach toward economic inclusion and increased regional competitiveness?
How do we empower those who have fallen far behind to not only participate in the innovation economy but become productive in job growth and wealth creation?
And how can we identify and scale up what's working in each local region?
What role does education play in the "economic future" of each region?
And how do we get local stakeholders to break down the walls of competitive silos to collaborate for the benefit of each generation?
This workshop is an innovative approach to aligning the disjointed, connecting the disconnected and empowering individuals, communities and regions to develop a sustainable pipeline to productivity process that increases job growth and regional economic competitiveness through the framework of local innovation, inclusion and impact.
You will emerge from this workshop with a significantly greater understanding of how your local innovation ecosystem works, your role in it and an understanding of how you can be part of the solution to the challenges your region faces.
This workshop is step one of a process that will open your eyes to a 21st century economic imperative and national vision of Inclusive Competitiveness. It is a must-attend event for anyone concerned about the economic future of their community, region and state.
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
