Judy Estrin (CEO, JLABS LLC)
Closing the Innovation Gap
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
3:30 pm, Atrium, Paul G. Allen Center for CSE

Abstract
Innovation drives economic growth, our quality of life and is the only
hope of addressing the major challenges we face. But America, a
cornerstone of innovation throughout the world, has become
increasingly short-sighted. By taking innovation for granted we
threaten not only our own strength, but the overall global economy.
Judy Estrin, technology and business pioneer and author of the new
book Closing the Innovation Gap, will talk about how it is essential
to reignite sustainable innovation in business, education and
government and what is required of business and national leaders to
revive organizational, national and global Innovation Ecosystems.
