INTRODUCING THE
New Growth Innovation Network
Committed to Inclusive Economic Growth
New Growth Innovation Network (NGIN) focuses on inclusive economic growth and closing structural opportunity gaps, to ensure that people of color, women and neglected geographies are a core part of regional economic growth and prosperity. NGIN’s focus in 2022 is helping cities and regions rebuild more equitably and tackle the deep inequality that holds back inclusive growth.

Communication Resource Guide for Inclusive Economic Development
To help regions rebuild more equitably and tackle the deep inequality that holds back inclusive growth, NGIN partnered with Partnership for Southern Equity to develop the Communication Resource Guide for Inclusive Economic Development. The guide provides a glossary of terms, complimentary resources, and supportive data to support economic development practitioners with a deeper understanding of how to activate communities towards an inclusive economy. This guide equips practitioners with the resources to jumpstart their strategic thinking on how to center community voices and build relationships, all while centering equity. This work was funded through the generous contributions of Surdna Foundation.

Inclusive Capital for Small and Midsize Cities
NGIN released its findings on what is holding back investments to advance inclusive growth in small and midsize cities and what approaches can overcome these capital barriers. These insights build on the October 2021 report: Commitment, Capacity and Capital. See the findings here.
