Most scientists agree that we are likely to see four to seven times as much new science and innovation in the next 25 years than in the previous twenty five. How will the U.S. Government cope with this coming age of innovation, especially as it battles a war on terrorism and efforts to remain globally competitive with China and India?

Can technology help foster a new citizen grassroots movement to address all these challenges? Join David Kralik, managing director of the silicon valley office for former speaker of the house, Newt Gingrich as we explore these topics and more.
