The North American economy is increasingly driven by approximately twenty or so city regions. These city regions are characterized by a high degree of urban density and deep and fast growing innovation ecosystems. This session is focused on describing what distinguishes innovation ecosystems and the elements that contribute to their growth. Government policy and progressive city planning including the development of innovation hubs can play an important role in facilitating linkage across the innovation ecosystem. Understanding the role of government policy and city planning can play in helping innovation ecosystems grow and prosper is an important aim of this session.
