Whether you are an entrepreneur or someone interested in discussing innovations that you can apply to your business or your career, join us for breakfast! Our HARVARD ENTREPRENEURS' BREAKFAST is an informal opportunity on the first Friday of every month for Harvard Alumni to meet, drink some joe, connect, and share ideas and opportunities.
May's topic - Basic Research - are we falling behind? was spurred by Thomas Friedman's NYT article "I just saw the future. It was not in America". That article reported on China's focus on STEM education, AI and innovation ecosystem - and asserted that the US is falling behind. If we are, what should we do about it?
How important is basic research for our future? And are we doing enough?
How should it be funded and conducted? Corporate and private funding vs government? Corporate research vs grant-funded university projects?
Should different sectors approach basic research differently (eg AI vs biotech vs green tech, etc).
Please come with your thoughts and experiences on this important topic.
