Should the US Have a Technology and Innovation Strategy?

Since its inception, many have trusted the “invisible hand” of America’s free market capitalism to automatically adjust to change. In fact, the U.S. has been more resilient than most nations because of it. However, the scale, breadth, and speed of China’s “Belt and Road” and “Made in China” programs pose a tough challenge. Some argue could China’s state-driven economic decision-making is poised to clobber a system that evolves naturally but relies on private enterprise and social systems to adapt. Does America need a new industrial strategy, perhaps one based on Technology & Innovation?

David S. Jacoby, President of Boston Strategies International, will moderate a panel at this event.
