Cross-sectoral collaboration is key to build bottom-up innovation economic results between businesses, communities, and federal, state, and local governments. The 10,000 Communities works with partners to create regional strategies and events to effectively link together investors, technical assistance experts, and community leaders to build local and national resilience and long-term competitiveness. In the year since it launched, the 10,000 Communities initiative has held a series of regional training events with business, government, philanthropic, and community leaders and capital providers across the United States in Atlanta, Cincinnati, Detroit, Sacramento, and in the Northwest.
