IC² Institute Director John Sibley Butler spoke June 7-8 at the 2012 CGI America meeting in Chicago.
Established in 2005 by President Bill Clinton, the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) convenes global leaders to create and implement innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges. Last year’s meeting of CGI America resulted in the launch of over 100 new, specific, and measurable commitments to create and fill jobs, provide opportunities for professional training, and invest in small and medium sized enterprises.
Dr. Butler’s session was entitled “Place-Based Innovation.”
