Innovation for Economic Development


Calestous Juma has asked me to spread the word that Harvard is offering a one week course on Innovation for Economic Development.

Technological innovation is essential for fostering economic growth, enhancing global competitiveness, and protecting the environment. The Innovation for Economic Development program at Harvard Kennedy School provides high-level leaders from government, academia, industry, and civil society with a unique opportunity to learn how to harness the power of emerging technologies to promote prosperity. The program outlines strategies and measures needed to align technological trends with development policy objectives, focusing on how to design and implement innovation policies for economic development.
