Innovation goes far beyond the latest electronic gadget in your pocket – although these incredible devices are emblematic
of innovation and life-changing technology. Innovation is about the development and widespread incorporation of new technologies
in a wide array of activities. Innovation is also about a mindset that recognizes that information is today’s most important
capital and that developing new processes for capturing and sharing information are as central to the future as the steam
engine and trans-Atlantic cable were for previous eras. This is an exciting time in human history. The future used to be something
people had time to think about. Now it shows up every time we go online. At ITIF, we believe innovation and information technology
are at the heart of our capacity to tackle the world’s biggest problems, from climate change to health care. We are confident
innovation and information technology offer the pathway to a more prosperous and secure tomorrow for all citizens of the planet.
We are committed to advancing policies that enhance our collective capacity to shape the future we want - beginning today.
