When stuck and spinning your wheels, either you figure a way out or have a long walk. In the current economic wheel-spinning, rut-chewing hole, there is ingenuity that is dormant and waiting to rise to the challenge across the United States. Every day in small machine shops and garages or home offices, problems are being solved for owner-operated businesses.
“Innovation leads to job growth directly and clearly,” said Robert Atkinson, president, Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF), a non-partisan "think tank".
In a new ITIF report UC Davis scholars Fred Block and Mathew Keller analyzed a sample of innovations recognized by R&D Magazine as being among the top 100 innovations of the year over the last four decades. (See full report link here.)
The ITIF was launched in 2006 and is co-chaired by Jennifer Dunn and Calvin Dooley, former members of Congress.
The mission is to "formulate and promote public policies to advance technological innovation and productivity internationally, in Washington, and in the United States. Recognizing the vital role of technology in ensuring American prosperity, ITIF focuses on innovation, productivity, and digital economy issues."
