Innovation, Lobbying

Monday, June 8, 2009

zogby463.jpg463 Communications, the Washington PR firm that represents Cisco Systems, VeriSign, the Consumer Electronics Association and other technology clients has formally joined with polling firm Zogby International to form Zogby463 -- an initiative that will track public opinions on a variety of topics pertaining to technology and the economy. The companies have been collaborating since 2005 on a range of strategic communications and opinion research projects for clients including the Tech CEO Council, Symantec, Skype, Dell, and IBM. "At the heart of every successful strategy is insightful data," 463 CEO Tom Galvin said. The joint venture will offer what Galvin called "evidence-based communications" that guide strategy decisions and drive and define policy debates.

To launch their partnership, 463 and Zogby hosted a Monday luncheon with remarks about U.S. innovation by former Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie, longtime tech lobbyist Chris Caine, and Democratic campaign veteran turned Silicon Valley entrepreneur Donnie Fowler. Caine, who recently started his own consulting firm after working for IBM, warned there is a "deep under-appreciation" in the United States about how extensively and rapidly the world is changing. "I don't think we've focused enough in the executive branch and legislative branch in being the most welcoming environment" for a new generation of global citizens, he said. Fowler noted the majority of venture capitalist money still comes from the United States and this country continues to offer the best universities and graduate programs in the world.

A new Zogby463 survey released at the event showed that one in three consumers polled believe that the technology or healthcare industries are best poised to weather the current economic downturn. Almost no one polled believed the retail and automobile industries will emerge from the recession in good shape. Additionally, the report found respondents on the West Coast are most optimistic about the tech sector while those in the Central/Great Lakes region were most optimistic about healthcare. Hispanics are most optimistic about technology while African Americans are most optimistic about healthcare, the survey said. Whites were closely divided between technology and healthcare, officials said.

Sometimes it's really that simple, isn't it? I feel a little stupid for not thinking of this myself/earlier, though.

Definitely tech industry will grow faster than any other industry.In these days most of tech companies are hesitating to invest in the market due to bad economic conditions.Tech business totally depend on innovation and creativity.So engineers are working in R&D departments for launching high speed wireless internet and other tech products.Wireless technologies are emerging very fast and introducing new and high speed networks.Wimax and 3G already launched in many countries of world.In future wireless internet will be more attractive than dsl connections.
