Remarks at USAID Conference on Transforming Development through Science, Technology and Innovation

Remarks at USAID Conference on Transforming Development through Science, Technology and Innovation: "Innovation, science, technology must again become fundamental components of how we conduct development work and the only way we can do that is with your help. We want your ideas, we want your guidance, and we want every so often a prod if we’re not producing what you think we’re capable of producing. I’ve said many times that while talent may be distributed universally, opportunity is not. And the reality of the world we live in today is that technology and innovation are the great equalizers and can be used to create opportunity where there is very little of that commodity."
