Research and development (R&D) are fundamental to the progress of innovation. With the advent of the internet of things, an interconnected global development landscape, and uneven but increased investments into R&D, the difficulty of maintaining U.S. primacy and competitiveness is more challenging than ever before. Josh Wolfe of Lux Capital and Jonathan Gruber of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discuss the current trajectory of research and development and its impact on innovation.
