The New Growth Innovation Network unites economic development leaders committed to building a new field of quality economic growth practice.NGIN is a network for and by practitioners —people and institutions committed to leading inclusive growth strategies in their neighborhoods and regions.The rationale for new models of economic growth—whether labeled inclusive growth, quality growth, equitable growth or sustainable growth—is becoming more widespread. Yet the conversation about direction is running far ahead of the invention of tools, techniques and practices that will take us from talking about growth differently to doing growth differently.NGIN provides disciplined practice and product innovation as well as expertise and resources to practitioners and communities. It also serves as a thought center to help leadership implement this new approach to driving economic growth.The heart of NGIN's membership is practitioners – people and institutions committed to designing and implementing quality growth strategies in their communities and businesses. NGIN also includes the broader ecosystem of stakeholders – national organizations, subject matter experts, foundations, business leaders and others – dedicated to creating this new field.Over 50 leading practitioners, experts and organizations worked together to create NGIN, with support from the Ford, JPB, Met Life and Prudential Foundations.Joining NGIN links you to a bold and entrepreneurial network of professionals dedicated to a new way of doing business in the next economy.Visit www.newgrowth.org to learn more and get involved!
