  1. Regional Economic Development: Strategies that focus on promoting employment, entrepreneurship, and small business start-ups and development, and

Network: Reimagining Inclusive Economic Futures

Judith James introduced the meeting and explained that Michelle Murphy has been in touch to explain that a funding bid had not been successful, so Derry and Strabane Learning City were urgently seeking funding in order to continue. As a result she would be unable to present slides today.

The first presentation was by Nishat Tasnim Maria, and was a combined presentation about two major cities in Bangladesh- Dhaka (the capital) and Khulna [presentation appears below].
