ble and responsive institutions focused on advancing 
the technology and manufacturing readiness levels of 
those advances. 
(5) Supporting the discovery, invention, start- 
up, ramp-up, scale-up, and transition of new prod-
ucts and manufacturing technologies to full-scale 
production in the United States. 
(6) Addressing the evolving needs of manufac-
turers for a diverse set of workers with the nec-
essary skills, training, and expertise as manufactur-

and secondary schools, to be more closely aligned 
with the needs of manufacturers in the United 
States and the goal of strengthening the long-term 
competitiveness of such manufacturing. 
(8) Working collaboratively with Federal agen-
cies, State and local governments, Tribal govern-
ments, regional authorities, institutions of higher 
education, economic development organizations, and 
labor organizations that primarily represent workers 
in manufacturing to leverage their knowledge, re-
sources, applied research, experimental development, 
and programs to foster manufacturing in the United 
States so as to anticipate and prepare for emer-
gencies and global, national, and regional supply 
chain disruptions, including disruptions brought on 
and exacerbated by changing environmental and 
other circumstances. 
(9) 
Recognizing 
that, 
as

manufacturing and robust domestic supply 
chains; 
(B) support means of expanding domestic 
manufacturing job creation; 
(C) enhance manufacturing workforce pre-
paredness; 
(D) prioritize the development of means to 
support diversity and inclusion throughout the 
manufacturing and industrial sector; 
(E) promote the consideration of, and sup-
port to, minority-owned and women-owned man-
ufacturing contractors of the Federal Govern-
ment; and

(A) ensure that global competition in man-
ufacturing is free, open, and fair; 
(B) prioritize policies and investments that 
support domestic manufacturing growth and in-
novation; and 
(C) not be utilized to offshore poor manu-
facturing working conditions or destructive 
manufacturing environmental practices; 
(3) Federal policies and practices should rea-
sonably prioritize competitiveness for manufacturing 
and industrial innovation efforts in the United 
States, but should not sacrifice the quality of em-
ployment opportunities, including the health and 
safety of workers, pay, and benefits; 
(4) Federal manufacturing and industrial inno-
vation policies, practices, and priorities should rea-
sonably improve environmental sustainability within 
the manufacturing industry, while minimizing eco-
nomic impact; 
(5) Federal patent policies should be developed, 
based on uniform principles, which have as their ob-
jective to preserve incentives for industrial techno-
logical innovation and the application of procedures 
that will continue to assure the full use of beneficial 
technology to serve the public;

lectual property rights and enforcement against in-
tellectual property theft, and broad engagement to 
limit foreign efforts to illegally or inappropriately 
utilize compromised intellectual property; 
(7) closer relationships should be encouraged 
among practitioners of scientific and technological 
research and development and those who apply those 
foundations to domestic commercial manufacturing; 
(8) the full use of the contributions of manufac-
turing and industrial innovation to support State 
and local government goals should be encouraged; 
(9) formal recognition should be accorded to 
those persons, the manufacturing and industrial in-
novation achievements of which contributed signifi-
cantly to the national welfare; and 
(10) departments, agencies, and instrumental-
ities of the Federal Government should establish 
procedures to ensure among them the systematic 
interchange of data, efforts, and findings developed 
under their programs.
