Innovation Leadership

A man gives speech

The spread of economic opportunity and the strengthening of democracies depends on democratic, open societies remaining the world’s most dynamic and creative economic leaders.

This means international allied collaboration to keep the high-ground in the technological innovation that generates new ideas, whole new industries, businesses and good jobs—and the maintenance of technological advantage for collective security. In a tech and talent-driven global economy this also means spreading effective policies, tools and practices that educate countries’ citizens to the highest possible levels. Maintaining and encouraging open societies with freedom of expression and inquiry and freedom of movement where talents can blossom and people flourish where and how they choose. It also demands leadership and collaboration in building a just, green economy to ameliorate climate change, create new green jobs and business opportunities that benefit all.
