Listen to both innovators and regulators discuss the obstacles faced between the 'rule breakers' and the 'rule followers'. Learn how communication breakdowns can be prevented, what concessions both groups need to consider to foster and strenghten collaboration, and hear about projects that were both successfull and unsuccessful in achieving collaboration.
