A Vision for the Manufacturing USA Program in 2030 and 2035
Established more than a decade ago, the Manufacturing USA institutes program provides a foundation for technology development, advanced manufacturing research and development, workforce education, and the growth of promising manufacturing sectors.
This new report, from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, examines how the program can be strengthened to meet the nation's manufacturing challenges over the next decade and beyond. The report makes recommendations across four critical areas - technology transfer, interagency and cross-network collaboration, regional manufacturing ecosystems, and education and workforce development - that together outline a vision for Manufacturing USA's future role in advancing U.S. competitiveness.
This briefing was for members of Congress and congressional staff only. The report was publicly released on May 14, 2026 and can be found, in its entirety, on the Web site of the National Academies Press.
