U.S.-BRAZIL INNOVATION LEARNING LABORATORY 13 November 17-18, 2011 Porto Alegre, Brazil Participants Agenda Biographies 2 Council on Competitiveness U.S.-Brazil Innovation Learning Laboratory 13 Picking up the Pace Exploring New Sustainability Frontiers…Driving Entrepreneurship…and Innovating in Biosciences Research and new ideas will fuel an innovation economy that drives productivity growth and prosperity—and these key underpinnings for innovation capacity start from imagination, curiosity-based research, then move to application and finally to commercial exploitation. The United States and Brazil must certainly retain and enhance their research at the frontiers—a key theme in our 12 previous “US-Brazil Innovation Learning Laboratories” and 2 “US-Brazil Innovation Summits” in 2007 and 2010. But both nations must also improve the “platforms” that drive new products, services and solutions to the marketplace. And by many measures, the United States and Brazil lead the world in knowledge creation and entrepreneurship—but it is also clear that even in these robust innovation environments, good ideas are left on the shelf. This 13th US-Brazil Innovation Learning Laboratory will explore ways in which both nations can accelerate knowledge and technology transfer, spur entrepreneurship, and catalyze the next generation of innovators in the Western Hemisphere’s two largest economies. Attention will focus on innovation challenges and opportunities neither country can meet alone—as well as cross-sector learnings—particularly in: the nexus of strategic resources, like energy and water; scaling up the overall entrepreneurial environment for key, emerging sectors (IT, social media); and, meeting the health needs of rapidly urbanizing societies, while innovating at the frontiers of bioscience.
