Infrastructures for Innovation: Aligning Policy and Practice
Thursday, November 12, 2020
4:00 PM 6:00 PM
Promoting innovation is a priority for Houston business leaders and policymakers. Developing innovation centers in urban areas, however, is a complex process that is shaped not just by funding opportunities, but also by local policies and infrastructure. At this year's T.T. Chao Symposium on Innovation, experts will examine the policies that guide and shape innovation in the United States and consider how those policies can inform the construction of the Ion, Rice University’s new innovation hub in Houston. Panelists will also address the city’s growing innovation district and share insights for building successful and equitable policies to transform Houston into a smart city of the future.
This T.T. Chao Symposium on Innovation event is co-sponsored by the Baker Institute Science and Technology Policy Program and the Science History Institute. The symposium is made possible by a gift from the Ting Tsung and Wei Fong Chao Foundation. Follow @stpolicy on Twitter and join the conversation online with #BakerScience.
