Some of our innovators

“SRI is one of the precious few organizations with deep expertise in innovation strategy and policy. While it’s increasingly relevant, this interdisciplinary field is still quite small. It’s a pleasure to work with colleagues who have the same baseline understanding that innovation is as much a social phenomenon as a technological one, shaping our tools to share meaning and to explore and build. ”
