There is so much complexity in the world of innovation that it is often too difficult to take on independently. The purpose of this Think Tank is to provide a foundational understanding of the importance of collaboration through strategic and public-private partnerships and its impact on the innovation ecosystem, and to examine why these partnerships have a high rate of failure.

The Thursday Think Tank is a weekly gathering of the IPaT community to brainstorm about research and stay informed about the work that everyone is doing. This is an informal gathering where the moderator kicks off the weekly topic, but everyone is encouraged to join the discussion.
