About this Forum

Recent discussions about regional economic development have been focusing on how to build on our economic strengths and create sustainable jobs for the future. The Cleveland Foundation has been working to foster development of advanced energy industries, including wind turbines, solar panels and fuel cells to make Cleveland one of the world's leading hubs of activity in advanced energy. These forums will explore how The Cleveland Foundation is working with local companies to develop an advanced energy strategy and how this can create jobs and improve Ohio's economy while contributing to national security and environmental quality.
