To unleash its innovation capacity to drive productivity, standard of living and leadership in global markets.
Macro-economic forces and financial constraints make innovation-driven growth a more urgent imperative than ever before.
American business, government, workers and universities face an unprecedented acceleration of global change, relentless pressure for short-term results, and fierce competition from countries that seek an innovation driven future for themselves.

2121stst Century Innovation Opportunity – Century Innovation Opportunity – the Hydrogen Economy Case Study the Hydrogen Economy Case Study
The potential of a hydrogen economy to address major challenges facing America and the rest of the world is capturing the imagination of consumers, researchers, government and industry.
Why hydrogen?
• Hydrogen fuel cell vehicle is nearly twice as energy efficient as a conventional vehicle and its only emission is water vapor;
• If 1 in 100 cars use hydrogen, 4 million gallons of gas will be saved every day
• Hydrogen can be extracted from various fuels, promoting energy diversity
• Fuel cells are a potential source not only of transportation power, but also of electrical power.

of global economic integration and advances in technology are creating a different and more complex challenge.
Sweden, Finland, Israel and South Korea each spend more on R&D as a share of GDP than the United States;
China overtook the United States in 2003 as thh top global recipient of foreign direct investment;
Asia now spends as much on nanotechnology as the United States
Only six of the world’s 25 most competitive IT companies are based in the US; 14 are based in Asia
Corporate R&D dropped nearly $8 billion in 2002, the largest single year decline since the 1950s.

The New Shape of InnovationThe New Shape of Innovation
Relationships that once looked adversarial are increasingly evolving into complementary, even symbolic ones.
Some of the most salient new relationships among innovators and in the nature of innovation itself include:
• User and producer-based innovations;
• Manufacturing and services
• Nationalism and globalization
• Security and scientific openness
• Public and private sector innovations

The New Shape of Innovation [cont.]The New Shape of Innovation [cont.] User and producer based innovations
• The world is divided into “producers” and “consumers” with the former in control…or not?
• This has now changed with “User-based innovation”, a term coined by MIT’s Eric von Hippel
• New models of innovation incorporate the customer into the design and development process
• This relationship can help manage risk and significantly mobilize the nations innovation capabilities.

Examples of user-based innovation:
General Electric’s “LightSpeed VCT” – 3D image of a beating heart
Staple’s “wordlock” – a padlock that uses words instead of numbers
BMW’s “telematics” – combining computing and telecoms for new generation luxury cars. BMW posted a toolkit on their website asking customers their ideas for in-car online services; 15 out of 1000 replies were chosen and prototypes have been developed.
Electronic Arts’ “open source software” – manufacturer of computer games ships programming tools to its customers, posts their modifications online and works their creations into new games.
What’s the connection? Harnessing customer innovation requires new methods

The Innovation EcosystemThe Innovation Ecosystem
Innovation is best seen not as a linear or mechanic process, but as an ecosystem, a multi-faceted and continual interaction among many aspects of the economy and society;
Ecosystem must take into consideration:
supply inputs
market demand
influence of external factors, especially the policy environment and common national infrastructure.

Key National PrioritiesKey National Priorities The National Innovation Initiative identified some key national
priorities that while not specific to near-term stimulation of innovation, do underpin America’s ability to innovate. These key priorities include:
• Unfunded Liabilities I.e. Health Care and Social Security
• K-12 Education More emphasis on creating a workforce equipped for creative
thinking and collaborative culture. American students tend to have mediocre performance on international assessment exams.
• A Global Trading System Harmonize global rules on competition policy, international
standards and intellectual property, the fundamentals of protecting innovation.
• 21st Century Infrastructure Transportation and Internet upgrades
