Meet the Council

Uniting Leaders to Foster Prosperity

Competitiveness is about increasing national productivity and delivering inclusive prosperity for every American.

Since 1986, the Council on Competitiveness has used its position as a unifier across the competitiveness ecosystem—bringing together members from academia, business, labor, and the national labs—to champion a nonpartisan action agenda that fuels entrepreneurship and spurs the commercialization of new ideas. Through pragmatic policies and priorities that prepare our workforce, attract investment, accelerate the deployment of new technologies, and enhance our innovation infrastructure, the Council works to make our nation more productive in a global marketplace.
