PARTNERING WITH NASA: INNOVATION THROUGH COLLABORATION
Come learn about how NASA works with external organizations to bring space
technology down toEarth, and bring new technologies from outside of NASA into
the organization. Part of the talk will focus on IPP’s Centennial Challenges
Program, NASA’s ‘citizen inventor’ program, with an upcoming event in Santa Rosa
for a “Green Prize” for aviation transportation.
Some topics to discuss include:
* How do you successfully foster innovation in large organizations?
* How do partnerships factor into the future of NASA?
* What are some of the most surprising benefits of space technology to the
general public?
