Our Purpose
The Tusher Strategic Initiative for Technology Leadership (TSI) engages in research, education, and outreach on innovation strategy, policy, and geopolitics focused on both firm and national competitiveness. TSI activities are animated by the recognition that technology leadership will determine economic competitiveness and national security in the 21st century. Our current innovation focus is centered on Industry 4.0 technologies that are driving industry transformation and global technology competition. We view leadership at both the strategy and policy level, including geopolitics, and believe that successful strategies and policies require an interdisciplinary approach at the interface of business, technology, and law.
