The world has anxiously waited for encouraging news about COVID-19 vaccine candidates. Happily, this news came right before Thanksgiving, with Moderna reporting that its vaccine is more than 94% effective and Pfizer indicating that its vaccine was similarly effective.
Pfizer is a well-known U.S. drug company, but few Americans had heard of Moderna before the company made headlines for pursuing a COVID vaccine. The company is a fascinating case study in American innovation and provides a roadmap for policymakers to support U.S. leadership in scientific and technological advancement.

Utilities: Fast Forward to 2030 - Webinar
Dec 16, 2020 12:00 PM
Utilities and high tech/high risk didn't use to go hand in hand. And although the market is regulated by complex regulations, demand for transparency, and rising security concerns, utilities are starting to pivot from a traditionally conservative mindset to a fast forward-thinking and hands-on approach. Today some have their own venture arms focused on scouting bold startups to reinvent their business and the market. Raghu Madabushi Director of National Grid Partners and Kristina Lund, President of AES US Utilities, are getting together for a lively fireside chat about the utility sector and the so much needed continued changes to reinvent their business and the market, as well as about the fascinating technologies they have been investing in, the trends they see coming, and how you can be part of it.
