TCI Forum on Competitiveness Issues in Developing Countries

We would like to inform you of the launch of a new initiative under the TCI banner: the "DC Forum".

The "DC Forum" will be a regular meeting of competitiveness professionals in Washington, D.C., using TCI as the neutral platform for dialogue on issues arising in work in developing countries. TCI aims to draw a balanced group of government officials, donors, academics, consultants, NGOs and other practioners, to share experience, promote competitiveness, improve methodologies, and become thought leaders.

A first meeting has been set for October 25, where several donors will present prepared remarks on the topic "How does Competitiveness fit in with our overall assistance programs today, and how might that evolve over time?", and an overview of the Greenbook II, which focuses on developing countries experiences, will be presented. The bulk of the time will be devoted to facilitated discussion on these topics. Planned are regular meetings in the future with invited speakers and changing topics for discussion.

For more information, please contact Franziska Blunck ( fblunck @ competitiveness.org ). We will also set up a website section informing you about the outcomes of these meetings.
