The Program on Science, Technology, America, and the Global Economy (STAGE) explores paths for long-term growth in the United States and around the world. Recognizing the dramatic challenges and opportunities presented by innovation and the global integration of national economies, STAGE focuses on competitiveness, innovation, and global economic developments with a three-fold mission:
- To highlight the key building blocks of long-term American economic growth– especially investment, innovation, life-long learning, and global engagement.
- To mark the key developments in technology and innovation systems that will influence the ability of the United States and the world to achieve sustainable growth, global health, and energy security.
- To examine policies that will help make globalization work for all.
