This project aims to understand the over-the-horizon, transformative innovation models that will drive U.S. competitiveness in the coming decades. Focusing on new innovation models is of critical importance to national prosperity and economic security, as innovation is the primary driver of productivity and, thus, an effective vehicle to increase the U.S. standard of living. With increasing global, innovation-based competition and rising challenges in the U.S. innovation system, practitioners and stakeholders are facing difficult questions about how individuals, teams, communities and national institutions of knowledge creation and innovation will transform to support current and future U.S. innovation. Through progressive dialogue series, this project will help 1) craft a transformational innovation action agenda with national and regional stakeholders to position the U.S. as a global innovation leader for decades to come; 2) catalyze a larger movement to enhance U.S. competitiveness and economic growth by accelerating knowledge creation and the translation of science and engineering research into market reality; and 3) expand and improve public and private sector engagement by providing the opportunities for potential partners around the country to connect and collaborate. This project will provide an analysis that will synthesize and disseminate broadly the experiential knowledge of active innovation practitioners. The methodology is a series of expert dialogues across the U.S. underpinned by best-in-class reports and initiatives making the competitiveness case for strengthening innovation ecosystems. These dialogues will convene a diverse and representative mix of innovation leaders from industry, entrepreneurial community, academia, national laboratories and research institutions, and other stakeholders. The information will provide academicians with directions for future research in innovation, business leaders and strategists with insights to inform future business models, and policymakers with knowledge to enact public policies that create a supportive environment for sustained innovation-driven growth.

该项目旨在了解胜利的变革创新模型，这些模型将在未来几十年中推动美国的竞争力。专注于新的创新模型对于国家繁荣和经济安全至关重要，因为创新是生产力的主要驱动力，因此是提高美国生活水平的有效工具。随着全球，基于创新的竞争以及美国创新体系中的挑战的不断增加，从业者和利益相关者对个人，团队，社区和国家知识创造和创新机构如何转变以支持当前和未来的美国创新方面面临困难的问题。通过渐进式对话系列，该项目将有助于1）与国家和地区利益相关者制定了变革型创新行动议程，使美国成为全球创新领导者已有数十年了； 2）通过加速知识创造以及将科学和工程研究转化为市场现实来促进更大的运动，以增强美国的竞争力和经济增长； 3）通过为全国各地的潜在合作伙伴提供联系和协作的机会，扩大和改善公共和私营部门的参与。该项目将提供一项分析，该分析将综合和传播积极创新从业者的体验知识。该方法是美国各地的一系列专家对话，其基础是一流的报告和计划，这是加强创新生态系统的竞争力案例。这些对话将召集来自工业，企业家社区，学术界，国家实验室和研究机构以及其他利益相关者的创新领导者的多样化和代表性的组合。该信息将为院士提供有关创新，业务领导者和战略家未来研究的指示，以了解未来的商业模式，以及具有知识的政策制定者，以制定公共政策，从而为持续创新驱动的增长创造支持环境。
