The world economy places a premium on the use of intellectual capital to maintain a competitive advantage. A key component of success in the international economy is smart, educated, and motivated people both employees and customers. To help Americans prosper and to maintain U.S. innovation leadership, policies must support world-class education and lifelong learning systems for all Americans, ensure that the U.S. continues to welcome the world's best and brightest minds, and promote public and private investments that foster breakthrough research and development.

The Initiative is overseen by Susan Traiman, director of public policy for Business Roundtable.
