Center for Regional Economic Competitiveness

The Center for Regional Economic Competitiveness (CREC) is a non-profit organization established in 2000 with the aim of supporting policymakers worldwide in formulating and executing innovative, regional, job-creating economic strategies. CREC achieves its mission through data-driven research, planning, and empowerment initiatives. It collaborates with clients to develop a comprehensive understanding of regional economies, facilitates articulation of economic forces shaping regions, and empowers leaders through data analysis and policy creation. Additionally, CREC oversees associations such as the Council for Community and Economic Research (C2ER) and the Labor Market Information Training Institute (LMI) to advance its long-term objectives. Despite the lack of specific industry information and headquarters data, CREC's focus on driving economic growth and fostering regional development positions it as a key player in the economic policy space.
