Many of the last century's most important scientific and technological breakthroughs -- from the development of the Internet to life-saving cancer treatments -- were the result of cooperation between government and the private sector. Government leaders, economists, and policymakers will convene in Washington to discuss the most successful models and approaches for collaborations in defense, aerospace, and more.
