The CNAS U.S. National Technology Strategy project will develop
the intellectual framework for a national technology strategy for the
United States that can serve as a roadmap for successful, long-term
American innovation and technological leadership. The project
focuses on how the government should establish technology policy
on key issues, such as accelerating American innovation, mitigating
risk to U.S. advantages, and contending with the technology
strategies of competitors.
Strategy Project
The U.S. National Technology Strategy project, a U.S. government-
supported initiative, will explore options for boosting innovation
through research and development funding, developing and
maintaining human capital (STEM education, high-skilled
immigration, upskilling), technical standard-setting, and supplying
public goods (data, computing resources).
This project explores the institutional and bureaucratic processes
through which the government should develop and execute an
effective national approach. It also examines these processes against
case studies in specific areas of technology.
Vital Competitive Advantages
 The United States must also protect its vital competitive
advantages. This project analyzes measures such as increased
supply chain diversity and security, improved visa screening,
targeted export controls and investment screening, and increased
and more effective counterespionage investigations.
 Many of these issues require balancing a variety of competing
interests, such as protecting critical technologies with stimulating
the long-term growth and success of American technological
leadership by allowing U.S. companies to compete in a global
marketplace. Balancing these and other issues requires
meaningful and systemic coordination by multiple stakeholders
across the government and private sector.
