Thanks, Doris, for leading the way with your great remarks on innovation. Page 2 of 25 I am delighted to be in this Summit. And Secretary Lopez, I can’t think of it being more timely. The country is doing well economically, we’re moving forward, and what a great time that we’re pushing with this agenda. I thought that the only way I can add value to the group and the organizers of this session is to talk about this notion of inclusive innovation within a multi-business setting, which is one that I represent. Innovation and inclusiveness should not just within the purview of small companies and start-ups. There is a role that we play as large companies, and I think Doris highlighted it very well: how all of us have to keep changing and adjusting to these changing times. But before I start on that, I want to congratulate all the organizers.
