The Future of American Innovation: A Conversation With Lina Khan 

Wed. March 13th, 2024
Washington, DC & Live Online

Since the 1940s, the United States has led the world on innovation and on developing new technologies, industries, and business models, securing its position as a global superpower. However, in the face of significant national security challenges and an intensifying global technology race, the U.S. position faces challenges.

How can American companies keep pace with their international counterparts? What is the role of regulators in preserving competition, fueling critical national security inputs, and facilitating innovation, particularly in the AI and technology fields? And can the United States maintain its position ahead of its geopolitical rivals as the reigning economic and technological world power?

Join Chair of the Federal Trade Commission Lina M. Khan and Rana Foroohar, associate editor at the Financial Times, for a conversation on these and other issues.
