Global Action Platform builds its model on over ten years of applied practice in regions, drawing on concepts from Michael Porter, Bruce Katz, and original research on how cities can prepare for the world's growing urban population.

innovation economy
workforce and talent
collaborative governance

Implement
The Global Action Platform innovation hub model can be implemented by any city to address needs for inclusive prosperity, cross-sector collaboration, and urban sustainability. As the world's population grows to 10 Billion in 2050 with 75% of the population living in cities, new models of urban innovation will be critical.
Global Action Platform serves as the neutral convener and anchor organization for the creation of an innovation hub with global markets in Nashville, and in other communities and regions.
With ten R1-R3 research universities, growing capital markets and investment funds, and a strong entrepreneurial culture and history, Middle Tennessee is poised to become a global center for creativity and innovation.
