21st century threats are raising the bar for public and private sector collaboration. Industry advances in automation, artificial intelligence, and biometrics have greatly increased the public sector’s capacity to process large data sets, manage risk, and drive efficiencies. But emerging threats require new training to ensure our workforce is aligned to meet the challenge. The Air Force is leading the conversation on new skills and training to ensure an agile, responsive, and adaptive security posture — not to mention rapid acquisition and a complete shake-up on the way of doing business with startups. And jumping into the conversation is Transportation Security Administration (TSA), working diligently to engage industry, government, and academia around shared perspectives, advancing and investing in research and development, STEM and STEM-related skills, and new tech to secure the continued growth of our workforce and local, regional, national, and global economies.

 

Myths and Masters of Innovation Ecosystems

IRON CACTUS 606 TRINITY ST

3.14.20 | 3:30PM – 4:30PM

To innovate at the speed of tech and culture, government agencies and corporations realize they must do business better, smarter, faster. But how do traditional workplaces evolve and integrated the necessary elements? Increasingly, cross-disciplinary collaboration looks like the answer. More specifically, in an increasingly unwired, real-time, disruptive world, government agencies and their private sector allies have realized the best way to serve their missions’ is to lean toward innovation ecosystems.  

 Join this all-star panel of ecosystem and government innovation experts as they discuss the relevance, common myths, and present day success stories that prove collaborative ecosystems are becoming the deciding factor between preparedness for the future or disruption delivered by coming in second.
