How the U.S. Wins the Global Tech Competition

AI and the Race to Lead

What will it take for the U.S. to win the global technology race? From artificial intelligence to biotechnology, the stakes are high — and the time to act is now. Join leading voices from the worlds of government, industry, and policy for an afternoon of candid conversation about the forces shaping the next era of innovation and competition.

Please join the Center for Security and Emerging Technology on April 30 for our spring symposium, How the U.S. Wins the Global Tech Competition. The afternoon will feature former U.S. government officials, industry leaders, and CSET experts discussing how the U.S. can accelerate innovation, strengthen its technological leadership, and maintain a competitive edge. With lots of time for Q&A and discussion, the symposium will be an opportunity to meaningfully engage with the most pressing issues the U.S. faces in the global competition for tech leadership. Light refreshments will be served, and the afternoon will conclude with a wine reception. We hope to see you there!
