Catherine reminds us that 'we have no excuse now not to think deeply and long-term\u2014innovation is not an optional accessory.' David adds, 'Stay the course. Grab the opportunity, make a difference and give it a go.'  Their conversation is a call to action: to translate our strengths in science, research and technology into the next decade of national prosperity\u2014through collaboration, experimentation and execution. We explore the notion of moving the focus from innovation to experimentation and establishing a culture within government and industry that encourages experimentation to drive the productivity gains being sought throughout the private and public sectors.  With political stability providing a rare window for long-term planning and the outcomes of the Strategic Examination of R&D soon to be known, our conversations will focus on how we harness this moment to turn ideas into impact\u2014aligning education, research, business R&D and policy to drive national advantage.  ","author_name":"Tech Transfer Talk","author_url":"https:\/\/techtransfertalk.com","html":"
