"Deeply thought-provoking." --Vint Cerf.

A technology pioneer and business leader, Estrin describes in Closing the Innovation Gap what will be required to reignite the spark of innovation in business, education, and government--ensuring our long-term success in the global economy. Innovation does not occur in a vacuum. It grows from the interplay of three drivers of creative change--research, development, and application. Estrin calls this dynamic the Innovation Ecosystem, explaining how these communities work together to create sustainable innovation.

In my country, Panama, and I believe in the rest of Latin America as well, there's a lot of leadership variability and cultural taboos. Although we have educated people, causing disruptive innovation becomes almost impossible. There are a lot of barriers toward experimenting and getting funding. I enjoyed the talk very much, thank you so much for sharing.
