Competitiveness and the Future of the High-Tech Industry

Executive Director, AeA Bay Area Council

Like so many businesses, the U.S. high-tech industry isn't immune to today's challenges. Research shows that education, particularly in the areas of math and science, is failing. The critical thinking skills required to fill certain jobs are simply not being met. In addition, some government policies put us at a disadvantage when it comes to global trade and research & development. But Baker believes that the struggling economy is not helpless and that these negative trends can be reversed.
