The Obama Administration has requested public comment as it begins a process to author a second Strategy for American Innovation. ITIF commends the Administration as it begins to undertake this effort. ITIF's response to the RFI notes that a successful strategy for American innovation must promote both technological-based and non-technological-based (i.e., institutional and organizational) innovation throughout all layers of an economy, including the private sector, government agencies, and non-profit organizations. In other words, the strategy should not only address innovation in government; rather, its chief aim should be to fundamentally change private sector activity and behaviors to spur greater levels of innovation.
