Creating the Louisiana Miracle (Some Assembly Required): Stephen Moret at TEDxLSU

Louisiana Economic Development Secretary Stephen Moret presents a hopeful vision for Louisiana's economic future in this TEDx talk. His vision is about fostering sustained growth and expanding economic opportunity; diversifying Louisiana's economy while maintaining the essence of its distinctive culture; and developing the unique assets of the state's eight regions. Noting that fulfillment of this vision would require focused efforts of state and local leaders on multiple fronts, Moret emphasizes that sustained economic outperformance would help enable Louisiana to reduce poverty, lower crime rates, improve educational outcomes, and expand support for arts, culture, and nonprofits.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
