Senator Hillary Clinton Unveils Innovation Agenda
U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, today praised Silicon Valley for helping America become an "innovation superpower," but said prosperity will be jeopardized if politics unduly affects scientific research.
Clinton, a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, unveiled her "Innovation Agenda" before a crowd of Valley CEOs at the Silicon Valley Leadership Group's CEO summit at the Applied Materials headquarters in Santa Clara.
The globalization of the economy in the 21st Century poses special challenges, according to Clinton.
"Globalization has lifted more people out of poverty around the world than any other innovation in recent history," Clinton said.
