The day after his 2015 State of the Union address, President Obama traveled to Boise, Idaho, to visit with engineering and business students operating on the cutting edge of innovation, using 3D-printing technology to help launch new products and companies.
“The work you do here is one of the reasons why Boise is one of our top cities for tech startups,” the President said during a visit to Boise State University’s New Product Development Lab. The lab and its community actively foster innovation — and they do so with a culture of inclusivity. As the President remarked during his visit, “[W]hen everybody is participating and given a shot, there’s nothing we cannot do. … Because when we've got everybody on the field, that's when you win games.”
Our entrepreneurial economy is the envy of the world. But we need to do more to make sure that we are tapping America’s full entrepreneurial potential — drawing on talented Americans from all backgrounds and locations.
