May 14, 2019Comments
U.S. Senators Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and Chris Coons (D-Del.) have announced a new bipartisan bill to increase America’s global competitiveness in advanced manufacturing: the Global Leadership in Advanced Manufacturing Act, supported by dozens of manufacturers. Industry groups and universities would expand the national network of Manufacturing USA institutes, a national network of 14 public-private partnership institutes with 1300-member companies and institutions working to keep the U.S. on the cutting edge of advanced manufacturing. The institutes collaborate with partners to develop new best practices in manufacturing, help transition innovative technologies from lab to market and expand the production of goods made in America.
The bill’s cosponsors: Senators Cory Gardner (R-Colo.), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), Gary Peters (D-Mich.), Jerry Moran (R-Kansas) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.).
