The first step in winning the future is encouraging American innovation. None of us can predict with certainty what the next big industry will be or where the new jobs will come from.

We can create the jobs and industries of the future by doing what America does best – investing in the creativity and imagination of our people. To win the future, the U.S. must out-innovate, out-educate, and out-build the rest of the world.

birmingham england hotels WASHINGTON, DC – US Chief Technology Officer Todd Park announced the first class of "Presidential Innovation Fellows" today. Selected from an applicant pool of nearly 700 innovators from across the country, the 18 "Fellows" have agreed to spend six months in Washington to work on five high-impact projects aimed at supporting entrepreneurs, small businesses and the economy, while significantly improving how the Federal Government serves the American people.
"The Presidential Innovation Fellows program leverages the ingenuity of leading problem solvers from across America birmingham england hotels together with federal innovators to tackle projects that aim to fuel job creation, save taxpayers money and improve the lives of Americans in tangible ways," Park said. "These private sector innovators bring their entrepreneurial expertise to the table that has helped jump-start high-tech companies, increase efficiency and public engagement, and redefine how technology is used in business.
The five projects were selected because they are tough but tractable challenges whose solutions could provide immediate benefits birmingham england hotels and cost-savings to American citizens, entrepreneurs and businesses. The first class of 18 Presidential birmingham england hotels Innovation Fellows were chosen on the basis of individuals' skill sets and their relevance to the chosen challenges, as well as using cross-sector teams of innovators who can rapidly prototype and test solutions in an iterative way until success is achieved.
