Welcome to the Center for Innovation, Growth and Society or CIGS, the Silicon Valley home of the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET). The Center’s purpose is to focus on the new economic thinking that is specific to deep technological advances that potentially have the power to rewrite the rules of markets and our lives.
Here at the CIGS blog, we will be sharing insights gleaned from the CIGS community of Technologists, Economists and Academics engaged with the development of the new economics of Deep Technology (or DeepTech). At CIGS, we define DeepTech as the subset of innovative technology that can reasonably be expected to rewrite the fabric of individual, work and family life or even civil society as a whole.
