Game Changers 2012: Newsom, Agassi, Simitian, Weili Dai

Join us for highlights from the SVLG Game Changers 2012 Conference. Gavin Newsom, CA Lieutenant Governor was on fire: "We've been flat lining for 30 years...we have to wake up!" Joe Simitian echoed his frustration with polarized politics and called for a popular public uprising. Striking a more optimistic viewpoint, Shai Agassi, CEO of Better Place, the EV infrastructure & battery swap company shared his vision for making the SF Bay Area a model for the future of electric vehicles to "show Detroit...DC the way to go." Weili Dai, the intriguing cofounder of Marvell, the fabless semiconductor company reiterated the need for cooperation with China, despite several calls during the conference for taking a more aggressive stance to protect and nurture America's manufacturing base.
This interview was recorded in Silicon Valley on Sept 13, 2011. With thanks to the SVLG and SV Community Foundation for front row seats. Check out http://www.freshdialogues.com soon for an exclusive interview with Marvell cofounder, Weili Dai.
