National strategy for advanced manufacturing

Abstract: Manufacturing is an engine of America’s economic strength and national security. It plays a vital role in almost every sector of the United States economy, from aerospace to biopharmaceuticals and beyond. Advances in manufacturing enable the economy to continuously grow as new technologies and innovations increase productivity, enable next-generation products, support our capability to address the climate crisis, and create new, high-quality, and higher-paying jobs.
The United States remains a leader in advanced technologies; however, production and employment in several high-technology manufacturing industries have fallen sharply in the 21st century. To address global competition, the Biden-Harris Administration has taken steps to revitalize the manufacturing sector, increase the resilience of U.S. supply chains and national security, invest in R&D, and train Americans for jobs of the future.
This Strategy presents a vision for United States leadership in Advanced Manufacturing that will grow the economy, create jobs, enhance environmental sustainability, address climate change, strengthen supply chains, ensure national security, and improve healthcare.
Three interrelated goals are set to achieve the stated vision:
(1) Develop and implement advanced manufacturing technologies
(2) Grow the advanced manufacturing workforce
(3) Build resilience into manufacturing supply chains and ecosystems
To achieve these goals, 11 strategic objectives and 37 technical and program recommendations are identified for the next four years.
This Congressionally-mandated strategy seeks to improve U.S. Government coordination and provide long-term guidance for Federal programs and activities in support of U.S. manufacturing competitiveness, including advanced manufacturing research and development. Public input from over 700 individuals and organizations from across the country informed the strategy.
