Today's Indianapolis itinerary
Fifty Triad business leaders are in Indianapolis today to learn what that city's doing to keep its economy booming.
This morning, they're learning about creating growth in the life sciences business sector, according to a news release from the High Point, Greensboro and Winston-Salem chambers of commerce.
They'll hear a panel discussion dealing with ways to harness venture capital (something we need more of badly in the Triad), improve the workforce, market a region and nurture startup companies.
They'll also learn about education and the economy at a luncheon.
Tonight, it's off to the FedEx sorting hub for a tour during its peak operating hours. The hub is similar to the one now being built at Piedmont Triad International Airport, and will give the leaders a chance to see how the Triad hub might fit into an economic development strategy.
