Summary

We live in an age when innovation is ubiquitous, and yet more desperately needed than ever to revitalize our region and nation.

Innovation extends and enriches our lives, puts prosperity within reach of more people, and gives us more information and ways to communicate it than ever before imagined. Still, many societal ills remain, and some are worsening.

So we need real innovation–technological, economic, and social. We must develop new ways of educating, creating jobs and wealth, and solving problems we have only begun to comprehend. And we must work together toward it.
