The Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs has launched a new endeavor, the Technology and Public Purpose (TAPP) Project. Led by Belfer Center Director, MIT Innovation Fellow, and former Secretary of Defense Ash Carter, the TAPP Project leverages experts from Harvard, MIT, and Stanford, along with leaders in technology, government, and business, to ensure that emerging technologies are developed and managed in ways that serve the overall public good.
The Harvard Business School Arthur Rock Center for Entrepreneurship champions entrepreneurship at HBS by leveraging the school’s robust research and teaching agenda, vibrant ecosystem, and diverse global network to help entrepreneurs, startup joiners and investors focus on what it takes to launch, lead, and invest in successful companies. The Rock Center is led by faculty co-chairs Tom Eisenmann and Shikhar Ghosh, along with director Jodi Gernon.
