That would be ideal.. But tradeshows, Industry Councils, Business corsordia, Chamber of commerce, Industry roundtables, — remove most of the bite out of what we think of as “competition” from most businesses. At the tiniest levels, competition is true. They don’t communicate unless they must. There is distrust. There is a fierce “must win” competition. And at the highest of high levels, there’s monopolies or effective monopolies or duopolies whose only “competition” is keeping everybody else so far below themselves that they don’t have to think about them at all. And in the middle of the two, generally you have cooperation with _some_ competition but far more “we’re all in the same boat” here. since they all share suppliers, and worker pools ,and regulations to follow, etc. As well as problems unique to their industry that only fellow entities would understand and so they cooperate more often than compete.
