In this edition of the Dean Speaker Series, join us for an engaging lunchtime keynote with Dean Mary Margaret Frank and Nate Holobinko on Friday, November 8, as a part of the 2024 UNC Business of Healthcare Conference.
Kenan Institute experts, industry leaders and researchers came together to discuss the broad societal impact of entrepreneurs – including entrepreneurial ecosystems, funding and America’s untapped assets – and some of the biggest trends currently seen in the industry.
The current narrative around the U.S. labor market is a mixed bag, with unemployment numbers well above pre-pandemic rates while many companies struggle to fill jobs. In this Kenan Insight Q&A, three experts weigh in on the critical issues behind this dichotomy.
The impetus for the event was the realization among experts that the region - while impressive in many ways as an economic engine for the State - was underperforming relative to other regions in recruiting top tier talent to lead its area startups.
Kenan Institute Distinguished Fellow Thomas Stith moderated the panel discussion "Seeking a New Labor Market Equilibrium: A Leadership Perspective" on Aug. 23.

North Carolina was one of the nation’s most rapidly growing states during the first decade of the new millennium. Most of the growth came from migration—movers from other states and abroad. Combined with a more general aging in place of the resident population, newcomers are dramatically changing the state’s demography. But undergirding this demographic dynamism are major geographical, socio-economic, and racial/ethnic disparities in the human condition in our state, which require immediate attention if we are to thrive and prosper in the years ahead.
This report catalogs work by the Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise, in conjunction with the North Carolina CEO Leadership Forum, to distill insights from top academic researchers, business leaders and policy experts on how the economy is changing and what this means for the future of North Carolina. We describe seven forces currently reshaping the U.S. (and in some cases, global) economy.
