What COVID has done to the world’s most innovative economy

• What has been the impact of COVID and the ensuing variants on the Silicon Valley economy and ecosystem?
• What are the long term prospects for recovery, and what does that recovery look like?
• What are the resulting trends and forces that are shaping the greater Silicon Valley (including and especially Santa Cruz), and can the megaregion use the crisis as a catalyst to build back better?

Russell Hancock will speak to these points, drawing on extensive data and analysis contained in the Silicon Valley Index. He is the president and CEO of the Silicon Valley Institute for Regional Studies, and its action arm Joint Venture Silicon Valley. He is also a member of the public policy faculty at Stanford University.
