"We need to work better together as a region" is an often-heard
sentiment in sessions exploring options for economic development, but
the conversation often leads to frustration as leaders grapple with
uncertainty about which industries have the greatest potential for the
region. The presenters of this webinar have compiled state-of-the art
analytical techniques for analyzing a region's comparative advantage,
and they will provide an overview in this session. Participants who
wish to learn more details will be invited to subsequent sessions.
