  3. Outline • China • India • Entrepreneurship • Conclusion

  4. China

  5. Chinese Challenge • IT equipment manufacturing • Western VC flowing in massively • Some excellent exits • Enormous and growing domestic market for IT products • Chinese attempts to create global standards • Massive increases in R&D investment by govt. and Chinese industry • Large # competent engineers

  6. Chinese Tech Firms (Generalizations) • With the exception of Huawei and Lenovo -- technology is not yet global standard • VC funded firms show little global-class tech • U.S. business model clones (good returns because MNCs need to purchase access) • Firms providing solutions for the underserved domestic market (not IT) • Generally not competitive with India for IT offshoring (though govt. is interested)

  17. Entrepreneurship

  20. Conclusions

  21. U.S. Strengths • Great research universities • Attracting top-notch grad students • Cutting-edge research leading to new products • Best entrepreneurial regions in world • Seasoned VCs, lawyers, executives etc. • Many cutting-edge IT and networking users • Free flow of ideas and knowledge • Strong global connections

  22. Reality • Globalization here to stay • VC/entrepreneurship abroad (Skype, Baidu, etc.) • Offshoring to continue (and pressure on white-collar worker wages) • IT innovation is globalizing • India’s importance in SW will continue to grow • Open source/innovation systems are becoming reality • Ergo, value will be created wherever the bright, capable, driven people are -- capital will be there for them

  23. Policy Responses • Redress the imbalance between life science and engineering/physical sci federal R&D funding • Improve education at all levels • K-12 creates the feedstock for the future • In an open source/innovation knowledge economy secrecy is a heavy burden • Ease visa red tape for bona fide students, scholarly exchange, and high value contributors
