I am interested in discussing the management of globalization on local economies from an economic development perspective... How do local economies best transition their workforces, resources and economic development tools to compete and win in the current economy?
In addition one of my favorite topics is the development and uses of what I refer to as "Hybrid Capital." Hybrid Capital is the multiple pots of monies locally that can be utilized to grow the local economies from various and largely different outlooks. Perhaps some might be dedicated to traditional high-tech and robust physical infrastructure, some to innvoation and entrepreneurial research and development of new business ideas and markets, some might be used as seed & venture monies, traditional buildings & sites fast tracking, shovel ready sites for greenfield or reuse of brownfield development, speculative buildings aimed at niche users to diversify the local economy and attract new investment in an area not yet mature for the community, or destination based projects that create a unique brand and attraction of visitors "Placed Based Development." I think all economic development should have a deal closing fund (the if not but for fund of monies) that can be used to close a critical deal. some refer to them as opportunity funds. Last but not least is the development of catalyst projects those that change in a positive manner the business climate and create opportunities for ample new business investments to occur.Donholbrook 16:43, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
