Researchers, startups talk innovation at Washington Technology Summit

Innovation in Washington state helped build airplanes and software, but now it’s taking off into new realms to tackle energy, environmental problems and global health.

Technologies to detect cancer and turn waste into energy exemplify the new direction, highlighted Tuesday during the annual Washington Technology Summit in Bellevue.

"Everywhere I look, we are at the forefront of innovation — from clean-energy technology to global health to advances in manufacturing and materials," Gov. Christine Gregoire said in a speech to kick off the event.

Even with a weakening national economy, Washington state is doing relatively well.
