The discourse on innovation and entrepreneurship has historically centered on the private sector, often sidelining the role of public institutions. Yet governments and regulatory agencies fundamentally shape economic outcomes and social wellbeing through policy design. This raises critical questions: Can the public sector be innovative? Under what conditions, and through which mechanisms?
We invite you to join our PDW at 3 pm ET on 8/1 at Marriott Downtown 303. Featuring the authors of Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the Public Sector (Oxford University Press) alongside other renowned scholars in the field, this session will explore the evolving dynamics of innovation within government agencies and policy-making bodies.
To ensure a rich exchange of perspectives, we have reserved dedicated time for open dialogue, inviting attendees to pose questions, share their research, and engage directly with our panelists. Don't miss this opportunity to collaborate on the future of public innovation. We look forward to seeing you there.
