To inform the work of the Innovation Policy Forum, an ad hoc planning committee under the oversight of the Board on Science, Technology, and Economic Policy (STEP) will organize a workshop to explore the role of the Manufacturing USA initiative, which is intended to create partnerships among industry, academia, and government that leverage existing resources and facilitate collaboration and co-investment to nurture manufacturing innovation, accelerate commercialization, and foster a skilled manufacturing workforce. The workshop discussion will examine external reviews of the Manufacturing USA Institutes; provide an in-depth discussion of a particular institute; address the contributions of the institutes to workforce and economic development; describe how other nations are supporting advanced manufacturing; and discuss potential U.S. priorities and policies for action. A proceedings of the presentations and discussions at the workshop will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
