CSIS Renewing American Innovation

This past Thursday, CSIS Renewing American Innovation hosted Ian Fletcher, co-author of "Industrial Policy for the United States: Winning the Competition for Good Jobs and High-Value Industries", for a conversation on how industrial policy can strengthen U.S. innovation, manufacturing, and competitiveness. The discussion underscored the importance of industrial policy in supporting high-value industries and sustaining America’s technological leadership. 🎥 Watch the full event recording here: https://lnkd.in/gknRtz3w 📖 Learn more about the book here: https://lnkd.in/gXGNkWym 🔔 Subscribe to our newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/eZFB7Wgn CSIS Economic Security and Technology (EST) Department #IndustrialPolicy #Innovation #Manufacturing #Competitiveness #CSIS #RenewingAmericanInnovation #HighValueIndustries #IndustrialPolicy

The CSIS Renewing American Innovation program and the Keio University Quantum Computing Center, in cooperation with the COI_NEXT サスティナブル量子AI研究拠点 SQAI　Center of Innovation for Sustainable Quantum AI　(SQAI), Quantum STrategic industry Alliance for Revolution(Q-STAR), and Cabinet Office, Government of Japan, will host a half-day symposium to understand the variety of partnerships and investments supporting the growth of Japan's quantum innovation ecosystem. This event draws together the US and Japan’s leading research universities and national laboratories, along with government agencies, public-private partnerships, and industry participants, to explore the US and Japan’s assets and capabilities and the challenges and opportunities for cooperation. 📅 Date: October 30, 2025 🕤 Time: 9:30 am – 2:30 pm JST (8:30 pm – 1:30 pm ET, October 29) 🔗 Register here: https://lnkd.in/gP4BPWVZ CSIS Economic Security and Technology (EST) Department #Quantum #Japan #US #innovation #publicprivatepartnerships #QuantumComputing #ScienceandTechnology #QuantumInnovationEcosystem

CSIS Renewing American Innovation's Senior Associate, Anne McDonald Pritchett recently wrote for IPWatchdog, Inc on why taxpayers are already getting a great return on their investment in university research — and why new proposals to claim half of universities’ licensing revenues could unintentionally undermine innovation and public-private collaboration. Anne explains how the Bayh-Dole Act solved a major problem by allowing universities to patent and license discoveries from federally funded research — enabling thousands of technologies, startups, and jobs that have powered U.S. innovation for over four decades.

Can the United States Meet Skilled Trade Labor Demand Through 2030? As the GenAI infrastructure build-out accelerates, CSIS estimates the U.S. will need 140,000 additional skilled trades workers by 2030. To meet this demand, apprenticeships must expand 50% by 2030, backed by more instructors and financing. CSIS Economic Security and Technology Department President, Navin Girishankar, and Economic Consultant, Karl Smith, assess labor supply constraints, policy gaps, and the need for a National AI Infrastructure Workforce Consortium.

Please join CSIS Renewing American Innovation for an interview with Ian Fletcher, co-author of "Industrial Policy for the United States: Winning the Competition for Good Jobs and High-Value Industries." Manufacturing productivity in the United States is falling, and the percentage of goods consumed in the US that are made domestically has reached an all-time low. "Industrial Policy for the United States" — the first comprehensive examination of industrial policy in 35 years — explores why industrial policy works and offers practical, politically realistic solutions that meet America’s needs. 📅 Date: October 16, 2025 🕤 Time: 10:00 – 11:00 am EDT 🔗 Register here: https://lnkd.in/gknRtz3w 📖 Learn more about the book here: https://lnkd.in/gXGNkWym.

Countries that lead in researcher density consistently rank among the top in global innovation.   This is why smaller nations with dense scientific workforces often perform disproportionately well in global innovation, while larger economies like the United States depend on regional clusters to achieve similar advantages. Expanding new clusters through programs like the NSF’s Regional Innovation Engines is key to sustaining U.S. competitiveness in future industries.
