Rethinking Regional Innovation Ecosystems

Join Dean Jodi Sandfort on September 3 from 12:00 - 1:00 PM as she joins a virtual conversation on Rethinking Regional Innovation Ecosystems. The Thought Leaders Seminar Series is hosted by the Washington State Academy of Sciences. Conventionally, innovation means turning new ideas into products, services, and companies, with success measured in patents, startups, capital raised, and jobs. By those measures Washington ranks among the most innovative places on earth. But markets deliver what people will pay for, not always what a region most needs, and no single product or company can address a complex challenge on its own. This session asks what the public benefits of coordinated research and innovation actually are, what promotes or inhibits them, and how we might measure them. Drawing on the scholarship of public-value and mission-oriented innovation, it considers how a “public value” frame could change the outcomes we pursue and how we define success. Event interval: Single day event. Online Meeting Link: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_AwRf_um3R-m6gI1bP5136g#/. Accessibility Contact: evanshelp@uw.edu. Event Types: Lectures/Seminars. Thursday, September 3, 2026, 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM. For more info visit us06web.zoom.us.
