 Innovation disrupts things. So why not disrupt unemployment? Human capacity is perhaps the world's most underused resource.  Labor markets are dysfunctional.  It's a giant market waiting to be disrupted. So  let's discuss how it can create good jobs for everyone. Yes, everyone - not only top engineers. 


How large is the market for innovating for good jobs? How does an innovation for jobs ecosystem look like?  Who are the key stakeholders in it? What are the driving forces? How does  business, education and governance interact ? What is key for a middle class innovation economy?


This, and more, will be discussed  at the i4j Innovation for Jobs Summit.  The discussion mixes ideas across disciplines and stakeholder groups. 


Check out the report from the previous i4j DC Paris summits here.
