The Innovation Consensus: Economic Growth in 2013 and Beyond
8:30am - 1:30pm
April 19, 2012
Kaiser Family Foundation
1330 G Street NW
Washington, DC
The Technology Policy Institute, the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, and Silicon Flatirons are pleased to host The Innovation Consensus: Economic Growth in 2013 and Beyond.
American cannot grow and create jobs without innovation, and America cannot solve its fiscal challenges without growth. Yet America's innovation potential, and the global competitiveness that it must fuel, is being challenged by trends both domestic and foreign. Despite its importance, the issue is getting relatively little attention. The half-day conference will explore issues surrounding America’s innovation and competitiveness challenge and how to move the issue to the front and center of our political system support from both sides of the aisle.
Registration for The Innovation Consensus: Economic Growth in 2013 and Beyond can be performed on the ITIF website.
