2008 U.S. -China-India Innovation Partnerships
Conference:
Integrating Policy, Markets, Technology and Talent Development to
Meet Global Challenges
December 9-12, 2008, Boston, Massachusetts
Far different from the typical conference, this
event is the cornerstone of a major new initiative to build lasting
partnerships between university, industry, and government (U-I-G)
leaders in the U.S. and Asia to address global challenges in the
key fields of finance, life sciences,
and climate change/energy, with information
technology as a cross-cutting theme. Massachusetts is uniquely
suited to serve as host to this important event, thanks to its flourishing
“innovation ecosystem”: a balance of research universities producing
knowledge and talent, “soft skill” assets – such as lawyers and
finance professionals – supporting entrepreneurship, and a culture
that encourages new business ventures.
The conference provides multiple days of valuable opportunities:
One on-site day spent attending sector-specific addresses,
presentations, and discussion sessions, another at off-site
partner-building events, and a final day dedicated to innovation
partnerships between universities and industry,
talent development, and the global university – topics critically
important to all three of our focus sectors. The cross-cutting
theme of information technology will run throughout.
The Conference will:
- Announce plans for Asia-focused Global Research
Institutes
- Offer insight into key government policy issues
and emerging market responses through white papers, panel discussions
and presentations
- Foster innovation and talent partnerships and
expand networking and business opportunities between universities,
industry, and government
- Provide perspectives on U.S. policy initiatives
under a new president through leading advisors to the administration
and high-level elected officials
- Showcase U.S., Chinese and Indian universities
and their partner corporations
