2022 Summit Theme

Harnessing Your Region’s Energy to Accelerate Innovative Futures

As UEDA’s Foundations for Strategy and Practice study has shown the three major areas of innovation, talent and place drive change. In partnership with Virginia Tech and funded by the Economic Development Administration (EDA), UEDA is also developing networks focused on addressing economic resiliency and equity as well as convening EDA University Centers to advance regions. Universities play a significant role in this development and the 2022 Summit will also highlight these activities, especially as they relate to our theme. We seek topics and activities which align with these areas for our Summit.

We strongly encourage you to download the appropriate worksheet in order to complete required content using a Word document and then pasting into the form(s) that follow. The worksheets for this portal are below:
