Advanced manufacturing will provide
the basis for high-quality jobs for
Americans and sustain U.S.
competitiveness in the 21st century. To
ensure that the United States attracts
manufacturing activity and remains a
leader in knowledge production, PCAST
recommended in its June 2011 ‘‘Report
to the President on Ensuring American
Leadership in Advanced
Manufacturing’’ that the Federal
government create a fertile environment
for innovation and make investments to
ensure that new technologies and design
methodologies are developed in the
United States, and that technologybased enterprises have the infrastructure
to flourish here.
On the basis of that report, President
Obama established PCAST’s Advanced
Manufacturing Partnership (AMP)
Steering Committee to provide
additional advice to the government on
how to catalyze investment in and
deployment of emerging technologies
with the potential to transform U.S.
manufacturing. In addition, the AMP
Steering Committee is to identify the
collaborative approaches needed to
realize these opportunities. During this
regional meeting, members of the public
will have an opportunity to provide
their thoughts on:
• Technology development
• Education and workforce
development
• Facility and infrastructure sharing
• Policies that could create a fertile
innovation environment.
Please note that because PCAST
operates under the provisions of FACA,
all public comments and/or
presentations will be treated as public
documents and will be made available
for public inspection, including being
posted on the PCAST Web site.
