2moSuperb - I am wondering if there is another dimension to innovation that we need to embrace if we're going to restore competitive advantage? By and large, the accelerator model seem to keep the emphasis on point technologies - and anyone who know this space well, realize that we have a few technology whales and a sea of guppies. What missing, IMHO, are programs that help fuel collaborative innovation and solutions acceleration. Guppies are innovative and fast but day it and day out is all about keep the lights on. There is very little support for the guppies to swim outside their fish bowl and explore working with other firms to get more holistic and complex solutions - it too costly and painful - just legal hurdle for multi-lateral collaboration is enough for guppies to conclude "never again. We need a support system to collaborate, co-generate, compete and win as team USA. Greg Lewis Jason P. Jarvis G. Judith Underwood Djeevan M. Schiferli
