IEEE-USA Policy Priority:� U.S. Competitiveness & Innovation

IEEE-USA Policy Priority:� U.S. Competitiveness & Innovation:

"At the dawn of the 21st Century, America desperately needs a new national competitiveness strategy that reflects the realities of the post-Cold War world. Today we face a new, more rough and tumble form of global economic competition, especially in the science, engineering and technology based sectors that have fueled U.S. prosperity since World War II. Competing successfully in this new global environment is essential for our national and economic security and to ensure that the U.S. is able to create high-value jobs and maintain a vital national engineering capability. For those reasons, IEEE-USA is actively urging Congress and the Administration to pass laws that will strengthen U.S. competitiveness and innovation as part of our overall Innovation Initiative."
