Industrial Innovation
The Industrial Innovation team applies scientific and technical expertise to implement the President’s Investing in America agenda. The Biden-Harris Administration’s historic investments across the American Rescue Plan, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, CHIPS and Science Act, and Inflation Reduction Act form the foundation of a modern American industrial strategy. This strategy leverages critical advanced and emerging technologies to revitalize U.S. manufacturing, bolster national security, and enable a clean energy economy for all. This team works to advance innovation so everyone in America can benefit from our nation’s technologies. This includes:
- Accelerating the deployment of emerging technologies, including clean energy, biomanufacturing, and semiconductors, by reducing costs, improving performance, accelerating adoption, and increasing production. This includes leading a national net-zero innovation strategy for early-stage clean energy technologies, developing a bold decadal vision for commercial fusion energy, supporting the launch of ARPA-I, leading implementation of the Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Innovation executive order, working at the intersection of artificial intelligence and energy, and advancing a robust domestic microelectronics ecosystem.
- Creating new possibilities for all of America to participate in the 21st century economy, through place-based innovation investments across programs like the National Science Foundation’s Regional Innovation Engines, Economic Development Administration’s Tech Hubs, and the White House Workforce Hubs, which catalyze local public-private partnerships to supercharge regional technology strengths, create high-quality jobs, and unlock new capabilities to address national challenges.
- Developing analyses, models, and tools to better understand, inform, and communicate strategic American technology deployment domestically and internationally.
The team is led by Justina Gallegos, OSTP’s Deputy Director for Industrial Innovation.
