People think innovation is just having a good idea but a lot of it is just moving quickly and trying a lot of things.

Because, you know, resilience - if you think of it in terms of the Gold Rush, then you'd be pretty depressed right now because the lastnugget of gold would be gone. But the good thing is, with innovation, there isn't a last nugget. Every new thing creates two new questions and two new opportunities.

Innovation is moving at a scarily fast pace.

The point is that when we focus on all three things at once-technology, policies, and markets-we can encourage innovation, spark new companies, and get new products into the market fast.

I'm an investor in a number of biotech companies, partly because of my incredible enthusiasm for the great innovations they will bring.

Software innovation, like almost every other kind of innovation, requires the ability to collaborate and share ideas with other people, and to sit down and talk with customers and get their feedback and understand their needs.
