Current PROBLEM
ECOSYSTEM SILOS TRAP VALUE.

The Dallas / Fort Worth region is a major center of US Fortune 500 companies. The region has
enormous potential, numerous assets and deep industrial clusters. So far, however,
ecosystem development has been fragmented, and consistently lags Austin in entrepreneurial
startups and funding outcomes.Testimony for the Texas House Economic Development Committee Apr. 6 by Larry Peterson

Fragmented Ecosystems Don’t Attract New Investment
Missed funding opportunities for local universities
Texas venture capital investment has decreased 19% over the past 10 years
New companies are smothered thus limiting job creation and new business activity

FRAMEWORK of the solution
Jobs, funding, talent retention
Deep industrial clustersNew businesses
Shared Value was created by Harvard’s Michael Porter widely renowned as the father of modern business strategy.
![Page 12: November 16th RTI Roundtable Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062903/58ce655d1a28ab2f268b6735/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Expansion of VALUEThe basic premise of Shared Value is that the success of all
companies is influenced by support services and the infrastructure surrounding them.
The company cannot disregard a healthy social and local context, and collaborating to achieve this therefore falls within its objectives.
