Mason Carter examines the new Houston energy summit and Detroit AI initiative through one question: when innovation arrives, who gets a real seat at the table?

A planned Houston summit on energy and infrastructure should advance practical innovation without becoming another excuse for centralized control.

Stark Industries and Houston institutional partners plan a free public summit later this year focused on energy and infrastructure innovation.

Stark Industries will host a free Dallas event bringing community groups, educators, entrepreneurs and residents together to present technology-focused ideas for neighborhood improvement.

Stark Industries is staging a free Dallas workforce and community service day at Fair Park, pairing career development with volunteer work centered on assembling 10,000 family meal kits.
