Thank you for attending the Technolink Spring 2019 Presidents' Club Forum at the Athenaeum Club at Caltech. From technology, innovation and cybersecurity to leadership and the transfer of knowledge, we covered it all -- and what an inspiring and uplifting cross-generational gathering it was! As we learned, an innovation in one industry has the ability to influence change in unforeseen ways and positively impact humankind and the globe.
As we continue to look forward this April, we are sharing Terry O'Neill's slide presentation on the global economic outlook from the forum; some words on energy leverage from Lee Krevat of Krevat Energy Innovations; and Yaron Gamburg, International Affairs Specialist, provides insight on innovation in Israel.
Thank you for your continued support, engagement and inspiration that makes our Technolink community so unique.

Terry O'Neill, Founder of the Institute for the Study of Global Economics and Finance, shares his views for Q2. While things are slowing down due to strong headwinds and tighter global markets, there is still plenty of room for reasonable global growth in 2019 and 2020. To view Mr. O'Neill's slideshow that focuses on the current positioning of three economies that account for half of the world output: China, the EU and the US, please click here.
