A massive brainstorming session involving about 140 people taking place at the Lily Lake Pavillion on how to drive growth in our region.
Janet Scott of Enterprise Saint John tells us the event, called True Growth Connector, started with them identifying challenges we face like increasing exports, innovation, research, and entrepreneurship. Scott says people then decided which challenge they wanted to tackle.
She tells us one group was looking at how to engage millenials which connected to strengthening the workforce. Another group was talking about the fact that we need to communicate and educate what our value proposition is for companies looking to come here.
Scott says she believes the event was successful in achieving its goal and in the coming days and weeks they’ll need to analyze ideas and look how how we can build connections between ideas and people.
