Description:
Discover the many ways that entrepreneurs are realizing the potential of technology to ensure that everyone finds a meaningful place in the new economy.
Technology and globalization are powerful tools that can connect Americans to economic opportunity. Individual entrepreneurs—using innovations that were only science fiction even 10 years ago—are starting businesses that are changing the world. One hundred-year-old industrial buildings now house 3-D printing companies. Farmers are using sensors and tablets to irrigate their crops. American businesses are using platforms to sell to a growing consumer class across the world.
Join a panel discussion featuring Matthew J. Slaughter, Dean of the Tuck School and University of Virginia Professor of History Philip Zelikow, co-authors of America’s Moment: Creating Opportunity in the Digital Age, and Errik Anderson D’00, T’07, Co-Founder, President and CEO of Compass Therapeutics. Dean Slaughter and Professor Zelikow are members of Rework America. Learn more at Markle.
