The Council on Competitiveness was founded in 1986 during a period of great anxiety about American competitiveness. The United States was losing market shares to international competitors, facing stagnant productivity growth, and suffering from high unemployment and inflation. Two dozen industry, university and labor leaders came together to elevate competitiveness as a national priority and to tackle those economic challenges.
The Council’s mission is just as relevant today as it was 22 years ago. We are now in a new era that will be shaped by turbulence, transition and transformation. Seismic shifts are dramatically altering the world’s competitive landscape and the ecosystems that drive growth and prosperity.
