On October 31, 2024, the Council on Competitiveness convened its landmark 30th Technology Leadership and Strategy Initiative (TLSI) Dialogue at the Lockheed Martin Global Vision Center in Arlington, Virginia. Nearly 30 leaders from technology companies, universities, government, and national laboratories gathered to explore the issues, challenges, and opportunities shaping the U.S. innovation ecosystem. Discussions were centered around two themes—developing the TLSI Call to Action and its recommendations, and expanding the conversation around how to build a more adaptive and agile industrial base to meet U.S. economic and national security needs for the 21st century.
TLSI Co-Chair Dr. Steven Walker, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer at Lockheed Martin, hosted his fellow Co-Chairs—The Honorable Patricia Falcone, Deputy Director of Science and Technology at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and Dr. Sally Morton, Executive Vice President, Knowledge Enterprise at ASU—and TLSI members and special guests.
