We all know innovation is essential for economic and civic growth in the 21st century. For cities to thrive, they must build and foster strong innovation ecosystems of businesses, universities, cultural institutions, and smart government. These ecosystems are key to attracting the capital and talent that drive growth.
Tech innovation
Breakthrough devices, services, applications, medical therapies, smart materials, transportation, artificial intelligence, and automation of all kinds are powering innovation in our society. And emerging businesses, where the bulk of new jobs and growth are created, evolve from these innovation ecosystems. Innovation attracts talent. And with innovation and talent, capital follows.
The great news is that cities and communities in Flyover Country are aggressively developing and growing their innovation ecosystems. In Kansas, Michigan, Nebraska, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, and Tennessee, among others, communities are rallying around new businesses and entrepreneurs. Cities in Missouri, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania are creating ecosystems that are attracting the sought-after talent and capital so fundamental to growth and quality of life.
The major Flyover Universities are fueling their engineering departments and expanding their bioscience research, adding horsepower to their tech transfer offices. Everywhere you look, Flyover Country is fast approaching mach1. And as coastal cities become increasingly unaffordable, this is the ideal time to start a business, work in, or invest in Flyover Country.
