Today we’re joined by Katie Milligan from Heartland Forward. Heartland Forward is a nonpartisan, nonprofit “think and do tank” focused on improving economic performance in the center of the United States. They believe that transformative research concentrates on factors that impact the American Heartland’s economy through innovation, such as research development and commercialization, human capital formation and labor force skills training, entrepreneurship awareness and capacity, access to early-stage risk capital, and issues around immigration, demographics, health status, and quality of place. Heartland Forward is based in Bentonville, Arkansas, but their work focuses on the entire Heartland region. Today Katie shares with us how they help to support communities through local programs and resources driven by their research and shares a sneak peek of their 2021 Heartland Summit as they bring together leading thinkers, innovators, and investors, to create powerful networks for forging paths of progress.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/endeavornorthamerica/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/endeavornorthamerica/support
