Organization: 
WealthWorks

WealthWorks is a regional approach to economic development that connects a community’s assets to market demand in ways that build livelihoods that last. WealthWorks aims to advance a region’s overall prosperity and self-reliance, strengthen existing and emerging sectors, and increase upward mobility for many—always including people, places and firms on the economic margins.

Module 2 of the WealthWorks for Your Region: An Introduction series offers a series of useful screens for spotting a market opportunity that has good potential to generate wealth-building results for a region.

This module will help you grasp the process of how to identify market opportunities and select those best suited for wealth building in your region.

  1. Get to know demand
  2. Match demand with your region

This module will introduce you to some paths for each of those steps.
