Endless Frontiers Retreat Remarks

In his remarks at the Endless Frontiers Retreat, Director Kratsios discussed the potential for a new Golden Age of American innovation, urging a collective effort to rejuvenate the nation’s scientific and industrial capabilities. He reflected on the achievements of the past century, noting that while progress has been made, it has not matched the rapid advancements of previous decades. To secure America’s technological leadership, Kratsios proposed a strategy focused on promoting innovation, protecting intellectual property, and ensuring that American technologies remain ahead of foreign rivals.

Kratsios pointed out that stagnation in technological progress was a choice influenced by regulatory challenges and a lack of vision, which has hindered the country’s ability to innovate. He emphasized the need for a supportive regulatory environment that encourages research and development, as well as the importance of investment in emerging technologies. The Director also highlighted the necessity of safeguarding American intellectual property and securing supply chains to mitigate risks associated with foreign competition, particularly from China.

He urged innovators and builders to engage actively in political processes and advocate for policies that foster technological growth. Kratsios expressed that the success of this vision depends on individual choices and collective action, aiming to ensure that future generations inherit a strong and prosperous America. By embracing innovation and making strategic decisions, the country can strive towards achieving its full potential in the global technological landscape.
