Foresight’s VP of Business Development, Daniel Satinsky, co-authored a new book. Hammer and Silicon – The Soviet Diaspora in the U.S. Innovation Economy, published by Cambridge University Press discusses the impact of immigration policy on the US tech sector. The book is based upon in-depth interviews of more than 150 professionals who emigrated from 11 of the 15 former Soviet republics between the 1970s and 2015 and who currently work in Silicon Valley and Boston/Cambridge. The book places the immigration of these skilled Russian-speaking professionals within the context of the broader movement of the “best and brightest” from around the world to the US over the past 50 years.

On Thursday November 29, 2018 the EPA SBIR hosted their annual Phase I Kick-Off Meeting in Washington, DC, highlighting the 17 Small Businesses that have been awarded up to $100,000 each.
