Meaning
This reads as a complaint about the gap between belief and discussion. The speaker is saying innovation and entrepreneurship matter to the economy, but the conversation around them stays thin, vague, or too cautious. It lands in a policy meeting or public forum where people praise growth in general, yet avoid concrete support for new business.
