Cleveland State University, a CEOs for Cities partner, hosted President Obama and members of his cabinet for a forum on small business growth. The President chose Cleveland for its outstanding work in transitioning from a rust-belt economy to a tech-belt economy. The Winning the Future Forum on Small Business focused on the need to “out-innovate, out-educate, and out-build our competitors in order to sustain [American] leadership and secure prosperity for all Americans.” The forum highlighted small business growth as an important component of reinvigorating the economy and making the US a strong global competitor for the future.
