Listen to presentations on Philadelphia’s economy and you’re due for two big themes: its manufacturing past and its knowledge-driven future, highlighted by a battle to attract and retain new innovators.

Check some takeaways and slides from the event, attended by some 30 for another in the installment of the wide-ranging, annual event series.
