#Business# | 🤝 2nd #Macao-##Hengqin# Civil Servants Seminar held September 18! Thirty civil servants from Macao's economic and financial sector explored coordinated industrial development through field visits, lectures, and roundtable exchanges. They toured the #Guangdong# Institute of Intelligence Science and Technology and the Cross-Border E-commerce (Huafa) Innovation Park, then visited the Hengqin Planning Exhibition Hall to learn about integrated development plans. The seminar aims to build regular exchange channels, consensus, and cross-regional governance capacity – with four planned this year. #CivilServants# #GuangdongMacao# #CooperationZone# #EconomicDevelopment# #CrossBorderEcommerce# #Governance# #GreaterBayArea#

President Trump says AI and data centers will be “the greatest economic development engine in history,” bigger than oil, gold, diamonds or even the internet. He says fears of AI “taking over the World” or “destroying Humanity” are a “HOAX.”

I'm about to start a webinar on Opportunity Zones for 50+ Texas Economic Development directors. These are the people in charge of bringing jobs, vibrancy, and tax base to towns big and small. I'll teach them OZ. But that's one tool. My real pitch: tell me the building that eats your police budget. The complex nobody will touch. The eyesore on Main Street. Then tell me what you'll put on the table to make it pencil. If it's in an Opportunity Zone, even better. When the municipality is a partner & advocate for your project then everything (including the numbers) works better
