Innovation in products, processes, and services is essential for companies and societies. Innovation to meet pressing needs, to increase productivity, safety and efficiency. Boosting productivity increases living standards. Seeking innovation, China and the United States both invest over 2% of their gross domestic products in research and development. In this conversation, we’ll talk with Gary Rieschel, a highly successful venture capitalist with deep experience in both China and the U.S. We’ll look at how innovative China has been. Has innovation in China changed over the past two decades? How can innovation be nurtured? How might U.S.-China rivalry spur or stifle innovation?
