The need to develop and supply the next wave of products and services includes competition for the world’s highly educated, inventive and motivated professionals whose knowledge will foster expansion into new frontiers.

While many of the world’s top scientists, engineers, researchers and educators are U.S. citizens, others are not.

Compete America believes it is fundamental to the United States’ innovation and economic leadership to:
