The 2013 California Economic Summit, held in Los Angeles on November 7-8 was the second annual gathering of leaders focused on working together to put California’s economy on a sustainable path for growth.
Capping the work of sixteen regional forums and seven Action Teams, Summit participants concluded the twin pillars of immediate job creation and long-term competitiveness for California are:
- Investing in people, infrastructure and innovation in creative ways to prepare our state and our regions to compete in the 21st century global economy
- Streamlining our complex regulatory processes to reduce cost of doing business while maintaining our environmental standards.
