Aneesh Chopra, the first Chief Technology Officer of the United States and author, will be a keynote speaker at the 2015 Louisville Innovation Summit to be held October 14 and 15.
As an assistant to President Obama, Chopra designed the National Wireless Initiative, helped launch Startup America, and executed an “open innovation” strategy focused on better public-private collaboration as described in his 2014 book, Innovative State: How New Technologies can Transform Government.
Chopra is the co-founder and executive vice president of Hunch Analytics, a “hatchery” incubating ideas that improve the productivity of health and education markets, including NavHealth, an open data intelligence service.
In 2011, Chopra was named to Modern Healthcare’s list of the “100 Most Influential People in Healthcare” and in 2008, to Government Technology magazine’s “Top 25” in their Doers, Dreamers, and Drivers issue.
His talk, “From Innovation to Integration: Understanding the Interdependence of People and Data,” will be a conversation with Dr. Jordan Shlain, primary care physician, digital health entrepreneur and respected writer and thought leader in national health policy.
Other confirmed featured speakers include:
Nearly 30 speakers and session moderators are confirmed to date, including 14 company founders and CEOs.
