The Technology Policy Institute will be holding its first annual Aspen Forum next August 22-24 on the topic “Innovation and Critical Policy Choices: Is the United States Losing its Edge.” Innovation and technological change are crucial to the nation’s long-run economic health and ability to improve standards of living, as well as to our ability to address national challenges in energy, the environment, health care and other priority areas. The United States has long been a leader in innovation, but there is growing concern that the U.S. is losing its edge.
