Chopra unveils Open Innovator's Toolkit. Aneesh Chopra, the federal chief technology officer, is stepping down today from his post after more than 2-1/2 years in the Obama administration.
He has spent much of his tenure pushing the idea of innovation. Before his departure, though, Chopra unveiled a new Open Innovator's Toolkit at a presentation this morning at the Center for American Progress. Watch below. Prior to Wednesday's event, Chopra told The Federal Drive with Tom Temin the toolkit takes some of the best ideas his office has seen work in federal agencies and scale these ideas across those agencies that haven't implemented them yet.
"One of the most important things we can do is open up data, not just for those who seek it directly, but for secondary use," he said.
