We’ll cover how innovation often requires significant investment, resources, and time to succeed, and how government support can make a big difference.
In this talk, we will uncover different ways in which the government can support innovation and promote progress. We will discuss various policy tools, including funding, tax incentives, and regulatory frameworks, and their impact on innovation. Additionally, we will look at some case studies of successful government initiatives that have led to significant breakthroughs in different fields. We will explore how governments can create an environment that encourages experimentation, risk-taking, and creativity, while also ensuring safety and ethical considerations.
Join us as we also explore the African startup ecosystem with investor, executive, and political-science expert Steve Wymer, CEO of the Boys and Girls Club of Silicon Valley.
