medication. there's a difference between being very rich and ridiculously rich. this gentleman says that congress wants the pharmacies so have the money and congress wants money from the pastes to keep returning for offices. they spend more money on politics and fighting against thienl that are spent on r&d. this is extremely important. this is going to help the people of san francisco are. f that work in every other country we're is only country that is gouged like that canada and france isn't mr. faulkner would you like to respond >> the truth is we have the

best pharmaceutical companies in the world. a lot of companies lose a lot of money but i can guarantee i our pharmaceuticals are going to take a lost. a lot of companies run into those problems and jill adjourn scientific nicole worked out well, they're new drugs is a combination of four different drugs they put together. i understand the aids foundation they want to cut prices on the other hand, they have the next drug to be developed they're to need money for it. if we cut back too much it's going to cost lives and result. we have the best medical establishment in the world if we want to cut down it's goes to

cost lives. it's a vow judgment. adjust price has been discussions and kissing restraining order the roman order sdutdz it but in this case, the drug companies need the kind of medical research we need. some use the fact to invade our patent and do cut rate versions of our drugs. if we didn't go ahead and do our medical research a lot of drugs won't exist and a lot of people would die a lot yearns. in the earlier 1 hundreds people live about 47 years old. i'm 4r50rgd to living to about

80. i've read a lot of cicero i'm not interested in him i'm interested in human beings. the prices have gone up. when this gentleman said many people are doing to die many people are not i getting their medication and their dying. we're asking for fair prices not asking to take money away from r&d pr it's interesting when a drug company fails everybody feels so terrible i can see that you want them to succeed. and nobody faults the drug company. i've been a teacher for 40 years if the student fails they say their something wrong with me. there's something wrong where is the pharmaceutical companies if

they can't keep their drug prices down and forego those ohio salaries in order to save people. that's their job not just to make money and they can do that. 18 thousand people signed this ballot measure to get it on board. everybody is backing this measure. people who haven't spoken to each other in 20 years are backing this because this is the good thing for that the people of 70 >> mr. that infamous. i don't care whether the drug companies fail but i care that repel amelia reach gets interrupted. the futures of the company's i don't care about but i care about the net medical research which lives are riding on that's

where i favor using the money. i put in the voters hand good things to put money into and i listed thirty cancers companies and i urge you to donate to those companies. we need more medical research not less. there's a lot of hard choices but if you're trying to save a maximum number of lives the more medical research the bhert. i'd like to close the program with a few comments >> i donate to almost everyone medical nonprofit. i even what can for aids, for diabetes, for breast cancer envy sister a breast cancer survivor. i can important patrick's she's

a parkinson's survivor but people are turned away from cylinders they have to choose between their food and their drugs. we need, we need foe serve more people. we're not going to hurt the pharmaceutical industry we're asking them to give us for those people the children, the elderly, the disabled and those surviving from hiv aids a little help. i think they can do it and it would help them to be hell up >> at the. >> mr. faulkner. >> i've been an elected official i've seen many people

with aids die. what happened is with modern medical research they're getting positive results. money is needed for medical research. i hate to be a modern groperer but money it needed to save lives. in particular those who have hiv aids san francisco is well provided forever the federal government pays a lot of the costs. i want the drugs available to help people because i've known people will today of those awe flishgsdz my vaug is that i favor medical research promoted by every one >> thank you. we he hope this discussion has been informative for more information please invest sf elections.com remember

it's available for voting from 5 to 8:00 p.m. >> hello everyone welcome to tech shop. there's a few seats up here if someone wants to join us in the front rows. for those of you don't know it's a yup we over a classroom for making equipment were we think this is a great panel so i'll let them into through their introductions. this is a great place to talk about is manufacturing moechtd. we have seen what happened when you give people the skills for

design technology. we've having had typing machines and some of the member projects in the back feel free to take a look at those after but i want to tick e kick things off if you want to take a tour of the stop next door feel free but peer open 7 days a week so take a look at the technology you'll hear about that and we welcome you to the community. i'd like to a turn it it over to mayor ed lee to kickoff the session and i forgot to mention we consider the mayor an official maker he took his first class here he can come back in and make i believe that he can think of (clapping) >> well kuar in little rocky

thank you very much. first of all, keri thank you and a staff again for inviting us back to tech shop. i was here last week and i have proof. what's happening in san francisco and the bay area is incredible. we have a 5.6 point unemployment rate and over 16 hundred technology companies that employ over 46 thousand people and we're on the verge of dlovr relationships we've never had before which recent public-private perspiring i partnership that are exciting and innovative. when you look at what is happening with incubators to the large companies like sales force you'll realize that people want

to stay in the european setting particularly in the bay area and have the rich culture but they want to create the next generation of talent. those companies started here because there was extreme transplant that called themselves platform engineers and others that would help great companies like twitter start up and now fits our job to use this innovative talent it to make sure we i yeast generations of that talent and for any to having is the best give to have ingrown talent. and that's why i want to begin because this little model it's the first of an elaborate

propriety but it's my first sample. i have to tell you the story 4 kids middle age kids in 6 and 7 and 8th grade taught me how to make that. and in 15 to 20 minutes i went on the xhurpz and they helped me to drag down the icons i had to create some with dimensional talent and they taught me we designed it and a 3-ds eed on it on the computer i had four students teach me then we put it to the 3-d printers. and it began to print out. if you don't see it from where you're sitting it says go to

state warriors mayor ed lee. talk about the future. this is simply an example of where technology and innovation is taking what we described as the maker manufacturing movement in san francisco that when designed property typing and all innovations matched together that's itself question we put forgot how do we sustain that flat line and grow it and innovate just to sit on our laurldz twitter is a great company let's just watch them grow but he want to create the talent and then take it to the next generation of those companies. they'll be like the second or

third generation there will be thousands of employees here and they see the education institution and local government and policies supporting them and they in turn use their fluoroscopic genus and get involved like we've annuity other companies that introduced the ipads and training. this is that wonderful circle that i think innovations is going to bring us so we're back here really to ask companies how do we create the talent pool and sustain this employment rate to down further whether their returning veterans or new kids

from our public schools how do we get them involved involved. this is a job of the supervisors and mayor and i suggest to you, we can't sit on our laurels. this is the time week to week we're going to prevent night time ever in the future we talk about a bubble burst if we do the right things will will be clear opportunity to work hard and get those things done. with that, i want to introduce to you, chris anderson has been historically editor and the owner of wire magazine so he knows what's going on in the world of technology but recently he's the ceo of robotics and he's helping us to understand

the manufacturing where it take places no longer in the big steel miles by manufacturing is going to take a completely different road and how good policies not only tax breaks by where zoning is and to find space to match where people are. we're lucky to be in the city we have to do it right things to keep this momentum going. it's critical this time period but we must have those meeting with our technology leader so with that i'd like to introduce chris anderson 3-d robotics

(clapping) >> terrific thank you. and thank you for coming. a so as the mayor said this is part of a listening tour that's part of the forum is to help with the policies and the mayor staff about what they should be doing to advance what we know it is a growing movement. the manufacturing is cool again. things have changed this is not the 1970s or the sort of grinding san mateo task miles. it's digital manufacturing made it to the desktop. and it looks like software but it's in it's innovations side

looked like hardware. we're fortunate to have a number of panel itself but it's important to talk about what the future looks like in the bay area to get our questions and the mayor's staff is going to hopefully take notes. so from the left the founder of other labs and talk about your number one topic for discussion tonight >> the microphones is in front of you. >> my voice is not enough. we're a lab in san francisco we have - we're spinning out a new

robotics company using machines and rob both the macro both the. we're doing the awkward projects of bike products. why are we doing it in san francisco it's notes easy. the reason we're here is for the talent we're not here because of the city wages on schools and children human resources our talent as soon as they have children moves out of the city. but we also i believe strongly that there are two types of things that has the revolution in manufacturing.

precision is incredibly cheap to the manufacturing processes look like software. their smokestacks are wrerg so the opportunity is taking the software controls and producing products in the city. that's a huge opportunity and i'm interested in that as a general manufactures. >> next is the director of the association or organization that represents the growing class of san francisco-based measures. i think >> we started with the existing manufacturers who were in the city were low terence and fast-forward it we have 5 hundred farthest in the city and

it's an e go system like many that were sitting at the panel who are younger having the manufacturing adams into their process. we have traditionally what feels like debar time merchandising and food and beverage manufacturing. i'm interested in two things that are related to new and old school manufacturing. how do we help some of the old manufacturing companies but small personally listed production but their lagging in accepting the newer manufacturing technologies. this doesn't mean we have this markers and hackers and people

developing things and the next step how by the we take the commercial viable to the scale whether here or in the u.s. how do we make the entrepreneurs design a way to economically make things better >> before i get to the next one this is a conversation. your questions can come by raising our hand or submitting it through the twitter. this is hash innovation month someone will follow it and bring those questions. so the panel will bring the audited questions as well. next up. katz is about indigo go. one of the important catalytic which the basically, the web

generation in addition to the desktop digital processing katz with indigo go. this is recognition there's a way to bring consumers into the financial model of innovation and manufacturing at the grinning i beginning of the process which is as important as the digital process as well. and they've got a historical amount of entrepreneurship >> things why that was a great introduction. hi, i'm kate and i work at indigo go which is as chris mentioned it's a leading platform that's based in san francisco. we were off and on here in january 2008 and we've seen so much innovations in companies to

come to life through our platform. any week at any given time you can see we're describing million dollars every week. i'm a small business owner and we started in san francisco and move forward to belmount we have a craft brewery canning line. and we go around the area for our clients. we got our start on ingo-go which is how i learned about the company so we're doing here in san francisco is empowering people to what matters to them. our fournldz set out to make sure that anybody who had a great idea what we was able to kick with a audience that that should be the thing that

empowers and funds and gets great ideas off the ground and not have gatekeepers it should be up to the people to make it happen. i'm so persuade u proud to see - when i started i started 15 months ago and i was employee 22 and now we're around 60. so that's the demonstration of our growth to show that it is astronomical when you give the people the tools to make things happen to see what can happen. we had a caption recently raise $13 million for a platform for a smart phone. we had a caption raised $23 million for a maiming home security devise depress people are making real money and i'm proud possible part of it and

part of the community >> thank you kate. one other announcement i want to mention this room is one of two there's another room in the hindu and we're going to be joining them afterwards for happy hour so reductions on how to get there and to minimal and socialize will come at the end of this series on the soushgs. i want to introduce the ceo type a machine it was founded and run here or rather there in tech shop they make 3-d printers and they're on the verge from having started and now stroirl to be a normal big thriving company >> it started off with me i had a 3-d printer i was disappointed

with and people offered me money that was about two years ago now. and yeah. we're up to 18 members of staff we're moving out and we're about to roll outlets new generation machine and it's great in that kind of looking the giant mountains. if i'm not mistaken you're the second company to be kicked off of tech shop for being successful >> finally, there's we have robby from planet labs who does, you know, rocket science among others and robby tell us more.

>> absolutely. we at that planet labs design and build and manufacture observation satellites. we put those staeltsz in space and take pictures of the planet. in december of this year we're going to launch the work out are words largest of 28 satellites this will help us go insight into the planet. but from the standpoint of manufacturing and where we're here and markers there's actually our shared investors and they had a blog on investors going pro and we were doing the same thing but we started pro tipping and building a satellite

in our garage and we built them differently. then when it got to a point of turning it into a real company and receiving venture cpa capital we moved to san francisco this is argue community and who weer. so we moved up about a i can't remember or year and a half go ago on second and brian and it's going to be an exciting year >> so i wanted to broadened it a little bit because i'm actually not based on in san francisco i'm in berkley and according to my friends and landlords recognizing that san francisco is not competing with berkley or oakland we're competing with new hubs around the country. it's or eric the biggest is in

brooklyn. new york has the highest design schools and designers and because designing stuff looks like like software. it matters less who has the smarter space but who is the most threatened. what we're competing with t is not new york or the metropolitan area but paris but, you know, someplace in indian this is a global connection how is san francisco going to capitalize to compete. let me turn to the panel and start with the negati
