- Abstract
- The purpose of this conference "GlobalGrowth of Technology: Is America prepared?" was to articulate the issues behind the question and to address these issues from the broadest range of perspectives. The impetus for the conference was provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Visiting Committee for Advanced Technology. The Committee enlisted the support of the Council on Competitiveness (CoC) for organizing this meeting. NIST and the CoC are appropriate partners to host this conference: NIST's programs are defined by its core mission of promoting U.S. economic growth by working with industry to develop technology, measurements, and standards; the CoC focuses on the key issues related to competitiveness such as trade, productivity, investment, and the U.S. standard of living.
