Three Presidents have helped lead the Industrial Research Institute since 1975. This presentation looks at: the creation and history of IRI; the corresponding changes in innovation leadership over the past 75 years; and, what the future will bring. Charles “Chuck” Larson (IRI President 1975 – 2001) starts off with a look at the growth of industrial research and development and the early need for an organization to help cultivate the nascent field of R&D management. Chuck recalls the major developments of IRI as an organization and our evolution as industry’s voice in R&D policy. Ross Armbrecht (2001 – 2005) discusses the changes in industry, R&D leadership and in IRI in the first part of the 21st century. Edward Bernstein (2005 – present) explains IRI’s current position statement on U.S. Economic and Technology Policy, our current role in the global environment and a provides a glimpse into IRI’s upcoming research and events.
