Competitiveness Coalition Mission
“Our country is home to the strongest, most innovative technology industry in the world, serving as a key driver of economic growth that strengthens Main Street, creates jobs, bolsters small businesses and powers innovation. Yet every day, the People’s Republic of China is making strides in AI models, robotics, and high-tech manufacturing, while employing a ‘whole of society’ approach to usurp America’s economic advantage. We are in a technological race not just with China, but also against time, and the U.S. cannot afford self-inflicted mistakes. Championing innovation and competition requires all of us working together to ensure American companies remain leaders in the next frontier of technology. Our innovators, startups and entrepreneurs have helped make the United States’ free market economy the envy of the world. I look forward to working with you all to keep that a reality for generations to come.” – Chairman Ronna McDaniel
