Aspen Institute

This grant to the Aspen Institute will support the creation of the Aspen Tech Policy Hub. The Hub is a unique effort that will create a Bay Area-based technology policy incubator with deep ties to the Washington, D.C., policy community. The incubator will aim to (a) develop its own policy-relevant technology research agenda; (b) translate existing research into more useable pieces; (c) develop tools and other practical content that stakeholders can actually use (e.g., concrete recommendations, mock legislation, tool kits); and (d) serve as a neutral platform for government, industry, and other think tanks to engage in closed- and sometimes open-door spaces on these issues.
