Roundtable Series on Innovation and the Future of Work

Leaders face a bevy of questions about how to steer our economic recovery and spur innovation. How should the United States tackle the most urgent problems in modern society? How should the United States build a resilient, competitive economy in the twenty-first century? How will the United States create a green, just transition? Please join our speaker, Mariana Mazzucato, professor in the economics of innovation and public value and founding director of the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose at University College London, to discuss a mission-oriented approach to innovation and the future of our economy.
