Northern Kentucky’s Competitiveness & Future Strategies
The BE NKY Growth Partnership Annual Forum will recognize our 2023 Growth Companies, those that located or expanded in NKY, and feature a keynote address – Northern Kentucky’s Competitiveness & Future Strategies – by Ted Abernathy, founder and managing partner of Economic Leadership.
Ted will present Economic Leadership’s findings from a competitive analysis of the NKY region which will incorporate the results of interviews with our region’s significant employers in the advanced manufacturing, life sciences, IT, and supply chain management sectors. He will also share best practices from leading communities throughout the U.S. that could be appropriate for use in NKY and a strategic action agenda to improve competitiveness and further diversify our region’s economy.
Ted is a leader in analyzing the competitiveness of communities and developing strategies to reimagine the future. He is the principal author of nearly 100 reports on future trends, economic and workforce development, technology, and leadership, and he speaks on the economy weekly.
