This year’s Swedish Schumpeter Lecture features professor Fiona Murray, Associate Dean for Innovation at MIT Sloan School of Management. A leading expert in innovation strategy and science commercialization, she also serves as a Vice Chairman at the NATO Innovation Fund.
In her thought-provoking lecture, ”The Economics of Innovation and Entrepreneurship in a Geopolitical World: Implications for Scholarship and for Practice”, Murray will explore how rising geopolitical tensions—such as the intensifying rivalry between the U.S. and China and its shifting alliances with Europe—are reshaping the global innovation landscape.
-
How is geopolitics influencing innovation and entrepreneurship now—and how is this different from the past?
-
What does this shift mean for our economic theories of innovation?
-
And how should we prepare the next generation of innovators and entrepreneurs to navigate this new global reality?
Drawing on academic insights and real-world experience working with NATO, Fiona offers an urgent perspective on innovation at the intersection of security, resilience, and entrepreneurship.
