High Road or Race to the Bottom? Reflections on America’s Manufacturing Futures
Event hosted by Stephanie S. Shipp, IDA Science & Technology Policy Institute
Talk Description: New technologies are transforming the economics of industrial manufacturing and innovation, and competitors around the globe are upgrading their innovation capabilities. Can America retain its competitiveness in manufacturing and create well-paying quality jobs? As services and innovation alone do not provide a gateway to prosperity, what are realistic approaches to America’s manufacturing future?
Location: IDA Science & Technology Policy Institute
1899 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Suite 520, Washington, DC 20006
To register, please send your name and citizenship to Ms. Tavy Chao, tc...@ida.org

China's Indigenous Innovation Policy and the Semiconductor Industry
Event hosted by Robert D. Atkinson. President, The Information Technology & Innovation Foundation (ITIF) Talk description: China's semiconductor industry poses an interesting advanced manufacturing puzzle: Why is it that, despite massive government efforts to build indigenous innovation and production capabilities, Chinese firms still play a very limited role in semiconductor production, integrated circuit design, and innovation? Dieter Ernst will discuss how China's indigenous innovation semiconductor policy fails to take into account the importance of industry structure for firm-level innovation capacity. |
Location: The Information Technology & Innovation Foundation (ITIF) |
