Governments and policy-makers around the world enact policies that affect technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship. An increasing number of scholars investigate these topics, having implications on policy design and program implementation.
This virtual seminar series will fill this gap—bringing together the insights from academia and policy application—thereby increasing our understanding of policy issues and building a forum for expressing these ideas and a supportive community to nourish them.
