This gathering was an opportunity to not only celebrate the successful changes taking place in Gateway Cities, but also to join in a dynamic conversation about how the cities of Holyoke, Lowell, New Bedford and Worcester are successfully implementing strategies to grow their Innovation Economies. The program featured a thought provoking discussion with Governor Patrick and Desh Deshpande on the power of entrepreneurship and innovation in Gateway Cities and the importance of public-private partnership in this work. Mayor Alex Morse of Holyoke, Chancellor Marty Meehan of UMass Lowell, Mayor Jon Mitchell of New Bedford, and President Robert Johnson from Becker College all described the role that strategic leadership from local private, academic and civic leaders was playing in spearheading the fundamental changes occurring in their cities’ urban cores. Innovating for Growth also featured vibrant conversations with change agents and innovators, academics and municipal officials, about where opportunities exist for promoting “entrepreneurship for all” and where challenges lie that can slow down the pace of growth in these cities.
