Innovating in the global economy: a Q & A with the Munk School’s Dan Breznitz
Politicians throughout the world aspire to turn their communities into the next Silicon Valley. But Dan Breznitz, the Munk Chair of Innovation Studies at the Munk School of Global Affairs, argues that this may not be the best policy to pursue.
Breznitz is an internationally renowned expert on innovation, and has been an advisor on science, technology and innovation policies to corporations, governments, the World Bank and other organizations. He recently explained his thinking on invention and innovation to U of T News writer Terry Lavender.
