America’s national and economic security—and our ability to create wealth and new jobs—depends upon a robust and adaptive manufacturing ecosystem that supports the generation and translation of ideas into high-value goods and services that serve U.S. and global markets. Manufacturing accounts for the majority of the research and development and productivity growth in the U.S. economy and contributes a large share to our total gross domestic product. The United States cannot be a global economic and technological leader, nor fully recover from recent economic crises, without a strong manufacturing base.
The goal for the U.S. Manufacturing Competitiveness Initiative is to deliver to the Administration and the Congress, at a national summit convened in 2011, a realistic and comprehensive solutions roadmap—with the advice, participation, and buy-in from a wide range of stakeholders—that will energize a vibrant, diversified, and technologically advanced manufacturing value chain, resulting in American jobs, economic growth, and energy and national security.
