Description
The relationship between regulation and innovation has always been complicated. Regulation that assumes one way of doing things can stifle innovation; conversely regulation struggles to keep up with rapid technological change. In this episode, Executive members Pamela Hanrahan and John Keeves unpack that relationship with the 2026 Trinity College visiting Gourlay Professor in business ethics, Professor Gerry George from the International Medical University in Malaysia and the Georgetown Entrepreneurship Initiative at Georgetown University in the USA.
