Cleveland State’s Presidential Initiative in Economic Development, a cross-university and cross-community partnership, has the goal of advancing economic transformation across Northeast Ohio through education, research and outreach. This forum is the first in a series of three that will share the results of a set of regional economic indicators developed by researchers in the Levin College’s Center for Economic Development.

A presentation on how Northeast Ohio compares with other regions on measures of entrepreneurship and innovation will be followed by a panel discussion showcasing programs and strategies in Northeast Ohio.
