Transforming Cities Through the Power of Anchor Procurement
Despite growing prosperity, thousands of Torontonians still live in poverty. In this webinar, learn about how local anchors, such as governments and educational institutions, can use their sizeable, everyday procurement and infrastructure spending to create jobs, drive inclusive economic growth and transform the local economies of cities.
In our keynote, Kurt Sommer will talk about the Baltimore Integration Partnership which has helped over 800 residents secure jobs and leveraged $149 million of investment for Baltimore’s inner-core neighbourhoods.
