Intellectual property is only unleashed when great ideas are surrounded by a nurturing ecosystem. What makes communities like Silicon Valley tick? Only a few places like the Valley have become enduring innovation ecosystems – human networks that generate extraordinary economic output. What is the nature of such ecosystems, and how can we deliberately build them? Authors Victor W. Hwang and Greg Horowitt propose a radical new theory to explain such ecosystems. This panel involves leading practitioners who are shaping the growth of innovation ecosystems in places as far flung as Colombia, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, India, and the Palestinian Territories. They will share stories, insights, and new ways to understand how human networks can flourish. Featured speaVictor W.
