@neeraj_here15 Saving to come back to this. I watched the first five minutes, and it's just dead on. Relates to right now how agentic AI is enabling front office individuals to take operational productivity into their own hands while really equipping every individual with this capacity.

@franseegull @lieselpritzker @_BlueHaven @ceniarth @gregneichin @OmidyarNetwork @NancyPfundDBL There’s a place to do so but to encourage #impinv initiatives to not compete for $$ yet to join the field would be eye off the ball. Strategies failing to compete are closing doors to most $$; meanwhile, we absolutely lack & need focused products that are serious ab pace & scale.

At this year's #CAeconomy Economic Summit discussion on Leading Resilient Regions @Prof_MPastor shares how "broadband now is as key as having water or electricity in your house"

Citing that in CA 13% of white kids & over 33% of black kids lack broadband access #DigitalDivide

With #OpportunityZones here to stay final through 2048, it is a critical moment to value and consider place-based policies including for not just those seeking tax advantages.

[Stephen Malta @stephen_malta]

Team Biden also recognizing the promise of Opportunity Zones, all indications are that they are here to stay.

Meanwhile more in the works to improve.

[Lydia O'Neal @lydimcg]

New from @NBuhayar and me: The contentious opportunity zone tax breaks, which @realDonaldTrump often touted on the campaign trail, aren't going away under @JoeBiden.

But here are some ways the policy could change after the new administration takes over: https://t.co/4L7Ai07TZv

A timely conversation detailing the forthcoming vaccines.

I learned how both Moderna's and Pfizer's vaccines are exceeding goal targets for effectiveness while viable to scale and transport effectively in the US. J&J's coming soon as well.

Which will our leaders choose to take?

[Bay Area Council @BayAreaCouncil]

Information helps. Before #BayAreaImpact webinar this morning with 3 infectious disease experts who serve on CA's vaccine vetting working group, 53% said they would be comfortable taking #COVID vaccine. After, 86% said they would.

[Stephen Malta @stephen_malta]

@mdweinberg @ValleyVisionSac @CADeptTech @CAeconomy @McpeakSunne @SJVRDC @ChicoState Are you all finding success engaging banks on this issue? As of this year post CRA modernization, broadband is a new eligible activity for CRA credit with also rural geographies included in footprint to do away with “CRA” desserts.

[John Cochrane @jmlcochrane]

90% of @NovogradacCPAs #OpportunityZones conference goers support reporting legislation. Key architects including @TimScottSC and @RepRonKind support comprehensive reporting.

It should have been included from the start, but it must be a priority in the next Congress!

[Stephen Malta @stephen_malta]

@Rachel__Reilly @InnovateEconomy Love this broadened conversation adding to a more wholistic look and coordination. Quite interested in the interplay with education/workforce more broadly particularly in relation to effects w/ community support. Key in my mind to inclusive smart growth, access to opportunity ect

[Stephen Malta @stephen_malta]

Great detailed read on national #OpportunityZones discourse — highly recommend this one by @bloombergtax’s @LydsONeal
