American Cities of the Future Awards
Over 150 individuals assembled for the inaugural awards ceremony for fDi American Cities of the Future. The audience included mayors and other government officials, a number of whom had travelled from Latin America and Canada to attend.
The mayors of Fredericton and Mississauga in Canada; Hermosillo and Querétaro in Mexico; Richmond, Virginia and Wooster, Ohio, in the US, accepted awards on behalf of their cities.
fDi American Cities of the Future recognises cities which have the best prospects for inward investment, economic development and business expansion. The results were released in the April / May issue of fDi Magazine and the awards ceremony was held on Wednesday 29 June in Washington, DC.
Courtney Fingar, editor of fDi Magazine, commented: "The Americas are home to many of the world's most established investment destinations as well as some of the fastest emerging ones, making it a highly competitive and diverse region for FDI. Given the strength of the rankings methodology, large field of competitor cities and sheer scale of such a benchmarking exercise, those cities marked for recognition deserve to be proud of their efforts. fDi Magazine congratulates them."
A photo gallery of the awards is available here .

BIO 2012 will take place 18 - 21 June 2012 in the Boston Convention Center.
