Technology Leadership and Strategy Initiative (TLSI)
Drawing on nearly 50 Chief Technology Officers (CTO) from industry, academia, and the national laboratories, the groundbreaking TLSI continues the Councils legacy of innovation policy and thought leadership.
Entering its fifth year, the Technology Leadership & Strategy Initiative (TLSI) continues to make the business case for strategic, prioritized investments in the research, talent and infrastructure necessary for tech-based innovation in an era of endless frontiers but limited resources. These CTOs have identified strategic technologies and grand challenges, advanced policies to speed new products to market, and suggested how to build more productive research partnerships.
The TLSI strives to enable more productive American research partnerships and to preserve the nations technology leadership - which has been at the core of the nations productivity revival during the past quarter century. An invigorated innovation enterprise creates new jobs and firms, drives economic growth, and is essential to solving some of Americas greatest challenges in areas as diverse as health care, energy and security.
High -Performance Computing (HPC)
To Out-Compute is to Out-Compete. The Council is moving aggressively to advance investment in and the use of high-performance computing across the private sector to propel productivity, innovation, commercialization and competitiveness. Not only is the Council pressing for a national exascale computing strategy, it also launched and conducted a successful pilot project of the National Digital Engineering Manufacturing Consortium (NDEMC). This path-breaking partnership involving the Council, the White House and the Economic Development Administration, propagates advanced modeling and simulation capabilities through the supply chains of leading Council members. NDEMC is hoping to scale its program nationally.
