UNLV recently hosted “Nevada 2.0: New Economies for a Sustainable Future,” a conference designed to explore opportunities to diversify Nevada’s economy by examining similar efforts in nearby states. More than 400 political leaders, representatives of the business community, government officials, and university scholars attended. The conference included presentations by guest speakers from Salt Lake City, Denver, Phoenix, and Dallas, as well as interactive panel discussions on the next steps Nevada should take to advance new business expansion. The value of research in jump-starting the economy was discussed, as well as the importance of strategic investments, improved capacities, and policy changes needed to develop and sustain a more diversified state economy.
