Locke announces 2011 Forum in the Dominican Republic
U.S.
Commerce Secretary Gary Locke concluded the Fourth Americas
Competitiveness Forum (ACF) in Atlanta today, wrapping up two days of
discussions with public and private sector leaders from 34 Western
Hemisphere nations. The Forum was concluded with the announcement that
the Fifth Annual ACF will be held in the Dominican Republic in October
2011.
"As our economy continues to grow, events like the ACF provide excellent opportunities for the business community to showcase new ideas and technologies, explore new markets, and uncover future opportunities for economic growth and job creation," Locke said. “We hope that the hundreds of public and private sector leaders here will leave with new ideas to foster programs, policies, and partnerships that will improve the economic prosperity of our individual countries and ensure a brighter future for all the people of the region.”
This year’s ACF brought together business leaders and policy makers from 34 Western Hemisphere nations to share best practices for enhancing the competitiveness, innovation, and prosperity of the region. Full release
