GE's Immelt: 'We certainly don't know all the answers

The Andrew W. Mellon auditorium was transformed Monday into a space-age conference center, with Microsoft Kinect-powered interactive tables and wall displays featuring the latest developments in GE’s product base — everything from turbines to appliances and health care equipment.
The gathering, convened to address the nation’s competitiveness and innovation economy, also gave one of the nation’s oldest companies a chance to advertise the latest developments in not only its technological innovation, but where it stands on job creation and worker training.
General Electric’s CEO Jeff Immelt kicked off the event summarizing GE’s overall strategy for growth and job creation.
“Competition requires confidence,” said Immelt on U.S. competitiveness, “I can tell you that I’m probably more confident today than any other time I can remember.”
But the United States shouldn’t expect to be the only apple of GE’s job growth eye.
