Securing America’s Future: Innovation Jobs for the Middle Class April 8, 2009 | 8:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Howard University
Washington, DC The Global Innovation Forum held its first event at Howard University in Washington, DC, “Securing America’s Future: Innovation Jobs for the Middle Class,” featuring the first public speech by newly confirmed United States Trade Representative Ron Kirk. Partnering with Howard University's Institute for Entrepreneurship, Leadership and Innovation (ELI Institute) the event focused on the importance of global trade rules to the creation of innovation-based jobs for the American middle class. President Obama’s economic agenda, including his trade agenda, is aimed at supporting the American Middle Class. As American jobs are increasingly based in innovation-driven sectors, the rules that govern the trade of innovation in the global economy, such as intellectual property rights protections, are of particular importance to workers, entrepreneurs, universities and local development efforts to create jobs for middle class Americans.
