Annual

GNOfuture Report 2019 Your best bet in life is to do what brings you joy, and to remember to be yourself and give your best to whatever it is you do, then use that to help others become the best they can be.

Leah Chase January 6, 1923 – June 1, 2019 Welcome Remarks From Our CEO The theme of 2019 in Greater New Orleans was clearly “jobs.” GNO, Inc. and partners made significant progress in landing jobs, strategizing for more jobs, and – importantly – training Greater New Orleanians for these jobs. Following a national search, Ernst & Young established a N.E.A.T. (National Executive Assistance Team) Center on Poydras Street, employing 200. Ampirical announced 400 engineering jobs at its new headquarters in St. Tammany Parish. Bernhard determined that its national headquarters will be in Jefferson Parish, with 250 employees. London-based Testronic is bringing 150 video game jobs to New Orleans.

Wins like this – totaling over 1,650 direct jobs in 2019 - combined with previous successes like DXC Technology and Globalstar, have spurred GNO, Inc. to develop the “GNO Professional Jobs Plan” – a strategic campaign aggressively focused on bringing more professional jobs to Greater New Orleans. Recognizing the importance of ensuring locals are able to obtain these “Professional Jobs” (34% above average pay), GNO, Inc. developed the demand-driven “GNOu” initiative, which received historic validation in 2019, including: • Amazon utilized GNOu as the basis for making Louisiana the first state for a full roll-out of its Cloud Computing degree • Implementation of a German-style apprenticeship program in Mechatronics, featuring Laitram, Zatarain’s, Elmer Chocolate; and, Delgado Community College, Nunez Community College and Northshore Technical Community College • Nearly $3 million in grants from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) & Delta Regional Authority (DRA), and U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA), to scale GNOu • The launch of GNOcareerguide.org, to help students, teachers, and residents understand the jobs of the future, and how to get them

Other key wins included: the launch of the New Orleans Music Economy (NOME) initiative; continued international growth at MSY (London 6-days, Montreal); securing the first P3 infrastructure project for Louisiana; launching of the Greater New Orleans Jobs Report; and the EVERLAB and Emerge Summit conferences.

Looking forward, research for GNOfuture was the focus of 2019. The strategic plan for the next ten years of Greater New Orleans economic development, GNOfuture is now nearly complete, laying out a road map for GNO, Inc.’s resource allocation and key tactics for 2020 - 2030. The goal is expressed in GNO, Inc.’s new mission statement: To create a region with a thriving economy, and an excellent quality of life, for everyone.

To cap off the year, Greater New Orleans was named “Major Market of the Year” (tied with Nashville), by Business Facilities magazine.

Let us end 2019 with a heartfelt “Thank you!” to the staff, board, investors, and partners of GNO, Inc. and the region. We truly appreciate your extraordinary collaboration. Here’s to an outstanding next decade!
