The Bay Area Council Economic Institute is a partnership of business with labor, government, higher education and philanthropy, that works to support the economic vitality and competitiveness of the Bay Area and California economies. The Association of Bay Area Governments is a founder and key institutional partner. The Economic Institute also supports and manages the Bay Area Science and Innovation Consortium (BASIC), a partnership of Northern California's leading scientific research laboratories and companies. Through its economic and policy research and its many partnerships, the Economic Institute addresses major issues impacting the competitiveness, economic development and quality of life of the region and the state, including infrastructure, trade and globalization, science, innovation, and governance. A public-private Board of Trustees oversees the development of its products and initiatives.
European economic connections with the Bay Area are deep and continue to generate shared value. While ties with expanding economies in Asia have been rapidly growing and celebrated over the last few decades, it is easy to lose sight of the region’s more established, longer-term partners and the evolving character of these partnerships.
The event will also celebrate the launch of the ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAN EUROPEAN CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE AND BUSINESS ASSOCIATIONS. A series of public events on specific topics related to the Bay Area's ties with Europe will follow through fall 2014:
