In a major press conference at the National Press Club Wednesday, November 11, the Council on Competitiveness—comprised of CEOs, university presidents and labor leaders—called for America’s new leaders to take bold action to recapture U.S. competitiveness. Chad Holliday, chairman of the Council and chairman and CEO of DuPont, called for an ambitious Compete Agenda that asks the government to transform its approach to workforce training, invest heavily in research and development, launch a national savings bond program to raise capitol for next-generation infrastructure and enact the Council’s 100 Day Action Plan on Energy.
