Leaders share the goal of fostering economic and social development through technology and innovation
The Business Software Alliance (BSA) today issued the following statement by Robert Holleyman, President and CEO of BSA, welcoming the high-level leadership talks between US President Barack Obama and China President Hu Jintao:
“BSA and its members congratulate President Obama and President Hu on the occasion of their landmark meeting this week. We applaud the vision that both leaders share of leveraging technology and innovation to improve the lives of citizens in both nations. “Pro-technology policies — such as strong intellectual property protection, voluntary and market driven standards, fair and non-discriminatory procurement rules, and consumer choice — create jobs, promote economic growth, and provide solutions to the critical challenges facing both countries, including energy security and climate change, health care, and infrastructure development. Nurturing innovation in the US and China is a true win-win that will enhance prosperity and improve lives around the globe. “We are encouraged with the ongoing dialogue between the two governments and the important progress made over many years toward fostering innovation and global partnership. BSA stands ready to work with US and Chinese leaders and to take full advantage of the many opportunities ahead recognizing that these two great countries’ pro-innovation policies will promote and shape how technology is used around the world.”
