Innovation and Productivity

Nova SBE Public Policy Institute

A workshop jointly sponsored by the Nova SBE Public Policy Institute and the Bennett School of Public Policy

Nova School of Business and Economics

After half a century of catching up to the US, the Europe-US productivity and innovation gap has increased over the past two or three decades. This raises two questions: First, what causes this gap? Second, what role can public policy play in order to close this gap?Join us for a morning of thought-provoking presentations and debate with leading international experts. We will explore the conditions that foster innovation, the role of public policy in enabling technological progress, and the challenges and opportunities Europe faces in a rapidly evolving global landscape. 📍 Nova SBE – Westmont Institute, Carcavelos Campus AGENDA9:30 - Welcome &amp; Introduction 9:45 - Pirates and Patents: The Role of Intellectual Property in the Development of the Western World.<a href="http://www.petramoser.net/" title="http://www.petramoser.net/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Petra Moser</a>, Alan Greenspan Professor of Economics, <a href="https://www.stern.nyu.edu/" title="https://www.stern.nyu.edu/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">NYU Stern</a>. 10:15 - The digital innovation race: Europe, US, and China.<a href="https://www.bennettinstitute.cam.ac.uk/about-us/person/diane-coyle/" title="https://www.bennettinstitute.cam.ac.uk/about-us/person/diane-coyle/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Dame Diane Coyle</a>, Bennett Professor of Public Policy and Research Director, <a href="https://www.bennettinstitute.cam.ac.uk/" title="https://www.bennettinstitute.cam.ac.uk/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Bennett School of Public Policy, University of Cambridge</a>. 10:45 - Coffee Break 11:00 - High-tech startups: A view from the ground.<a href="https://www.dhegde.com/" title="https://www.dhegde.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Deepak Hegde</a>, Seymour Milstein Professor of Strategy and Founder of <a href="https://endlessfrontierlabs.com/" title="https://endlessfrontierlabs.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Endless Frontier Labs</a>, <a href="https://www.stern.nyu.edu/" title="https://www.stern.nyu.edu/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">NYU Stern</a>. 11:30 - AI myth and reality: What can and what cannot be done.<a href="https://web.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/arlindo.oliveira/" title="https://web.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/arlindo.oliveira/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Arlindo Oliveira</a>, Distinguished Professor, <a href="https://tecnico.ulisboa.pt/en/" title="https://tecnico.ulisboa.pt/en/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Instituto Superior Técnico</a>; and President, <a href="https://inesc.pt/en/" title="https://inesc.pt/en/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">INESC</a>. 12:00 - General Q&amp;A12:30 - End This event will be held in English.
