Colorado Smart Cities Alliance’s Post

I'm honored to be in the fifth issue of MIT's Science and Policy Review. Thank you to Siddhu Pachipala for interviewing me, and capturing my warm- to hot-takes of how we can think about what's next for innovation in cities: "The word ’innovation’ should be invoked less in attempts to stick widgets onto polls and more in steps to bring research into city halls to inform policy and improve services to people." https://lnkd.in/gf3_7MvS

🏛️ Many of the institutions we take for granted today were shaped in a time when society shared a single cultural narrative. It's worth taking a moment to think about how this came about. In the wake of war, the 1950s and 60s saw the rise of new technologies such as television and mass media, which played a pivotal role in creating a shared reality🔮. These media platforms were instrumental in bringing together even the most diverse communities, setting the stage for the institutions we're familiar with now. Never before in human history had such a mono-culture been possible. Then the internet arrived and shattered this shared worldview into countless pieces. The institutions born from a once-shared reality now face the challenge of a fragmenting mono-culture, harking back to the diverse nature of pre-modern humanity. However, today's people are equipped with digital tools that amplify their voices 🎙️. The voices of everyday people are rising against the backdrop of weakening institutions. Who will prevail?

With North Carolina's diverse strengths in mind, NCInnovation has established four Regional Innovation Networks: East, West, North Central, and South Central. These networks serve as a bridge between universities and the private sector, facilitating the transformation of research discoveries into market-ready solutions that create jobs and boost economic development in every region of the state.   NCI’s regional innovation networks were created to: ☑️ Collaborate with university leaders to inform, support and accelerate promising applied research into addressable market opportunities ☑️ Expand cooperation by linking academia with private sector assets, knowledge, and support services to drive effective development strategies ☑️ Orient grant funding to address “valley of death” challenges early discoveries often face when pursuing commercial scale

Just great, practical. solid advice and insights from the best!
