The Stakes for Innovation Leaders in the U.S. Election

The 2024 U.S. presidential election is rapidly approaching — and with it worries about what it means for business and innovation leaders. Elections are always fraught affairs, bringing uncertainty and tension — and 2024’s contest between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump is certainly no exception.
