Doswell delivered a resoundingly clear message: Innovation is critical not only to the growth and success of individual businesses, but to the continuance of American leadership and prosperity. “A healthy, growing economy rests on a solid foundation of investments in research, education, information, communications, and energy infrastructures,” she told the audience. “If our nation fails to keep pace with the rest of the world in these critical investments, then our prospects for sustainable, long-term growth and world leadership will fade.”
