The international Eco Devo wins just keep on coming. Bakerly is the 2nd French company, a food manufacturing plant providing many great career opportunities on the Southeast side. They’re just down the street from other Korean, Czech and Japanese job generators at @LiveBrooksTX

@AccentureFed @BexarCounty @BexarECD @COSAGOV @MereBellAlvarez @WSASanAntonio @tx_fame And now, Leslie is expanding the brand! She’s mentored Kevin “KJ”Johnson with Millennium Steel to also use these populations, bringing career opportunities to folks who would not otherwise have a shot at economic mobility. He calls it “The Hidden Workforce.” I love that.

Great question from the moderator about trust: how can we trust what we learn from AI in a world of deepfakes? This is the absolutely most crucial question that must be answered. Today, people can convince others that the earth is flat with just words on a screen.

They are essentially rolling computers, and take radically different diagnostic and repair skills. As required skills rise, so too should the earnings potential for qualified mechanics.

I’m really encouraged to hear that advanced manufacturing in a key part of this dialogue. For populations like San Antonio, our advanced manufacturing growth trajectory represents a huge opportunity for wealth building and economic mobility.

This makes the Biden administration’s efforts around “Internet for All” even more crucial. In order for individuals and small businesses to participate, they need reliable connectivity.

But there are continued challenges in access to VC and banking capital, and other structural impediments.
