Manufacturing Mandate
The industry’s prosperity requires a clear vision.
Our policy priorities are developed in recognition of the important role manufacturing technology plays in economic growth, national security, and job creation. The Manufacturing Mandate demands national attention to the challenges and opportunities of today’s globalized world. It is a prescription for building manufacturing strength and job creation and is ultimately the key to American economic power. We advocate for legislation and initiatives that: - Incentivize innovation by supporting programs that encourage R&D and investment in new products, services, and technologies. - Improve global competitiveness with policies that are based on leveling the playing field and improving the business environment for manufacturers. - Build a ”Smartforce” through education and training initiatives that reflect the 21st century workplace.
