A new study produced by local urban think tank Policy Bridge says there is a growing threat to regional competitiveness in Northeast Ohio: The dearth of blacks and Hispanics in emerging technology businesses. On the next Sound of Ideas, we'll talk about regional efforts to fix that, concentrating on entrepreneurship, engagement, employment and education. Join our discussion, Thursday at 9:00 on The Sound of Ideas.
