4Front Working Groups
Five working groups, made up of business leaders, were established after the 2012 conference to develop action items aimed at leveraging Atlantic Canada's competitive advantages, developing new markets, and enhancing the value of the products and services that regional companies sell abroad.
Each group has a specific area of focus, and was chaired by a regional thought leader representing a variety of regional perspectives and sectors from small, medium and large enterprises:
The analysis and recommendations of the five working groups form the basis of "4Front Atlantic Conference: Issues, Recommendations and an Action Plan," the call to action that will be the focal point of this year's Conference and the path beyond.
The working groups have set the following five year targets for enhancing regional prosperity:
A preliminary version of their plan will be released on May 22, and the public will be encouraged to review, and share their ideas and input prior to the 4Front Conference on May 30.
