Global Shifts in Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Post-COVID-19 World
Date and time: Wednesday, July 22, 2020, 11 am Eastern Daylight Time (UTC-4)
Register here.
For all the challenges of COVID-19, this period has accelerated massive shifts in the US and global economy. E-commerce, payments on a mobile device, disruptive new opportunities in education and health care, and universal access to the latest technologies in artificial intelligence, genomics, and more – all were well in motion. Behavioral changes that would have taken a decade have happened in months – everywhere. How can US foreign policy engage global challenges to growth, in a post-COVID-19 economy? How does a technology and innovation ecosystem travel and translate in a global context? And what will economic recovery look like in the Middle East and emerging markets broadly?
