Bizjournals -- Mayor Ron Dellums at his second economic summit on May 2 will present the economic development strategy for Oakland that was forged over the last year by the Oakland Partnership. Dellums’ goals are to bring 10,000 new jobs to Oakland in the next five years, increase investment in the city and give Oakland residents better access to needed jobs. The priorities, the strategies and the many specific initiatives Dellums and others will outline at the summit cover four key sectors: international trade and logistics, health care (including life sciences), green technology and creative arts, and range from addressing infrastructure issues that constrain growth at the Port of Oakland to branding and marketing Oakland as an international gateway and from expanding a biotech training program at Laney
