The aim of this slideshow is to find collaborators by providing basic information to do a research project. We'd like to get our question(s) answered through the technique of crowd-sourcing: getting in touch with like-minded people all over the globe through social media (slideshare, twitter, blog, facebook, quora, google doc, ...?). Research question: What strategies can old economies effectively deploy to stay competitive in the next couple of decades? To answer this question, we suggest to analyze strategic economy plans for so-called DC Regions. DC Regions are economic entities that go for creativity and innovation in order to build a sustainable economy. For more information, have a look at the slideshare or get in touch.
