RE: United States Leadership in Global Technology Products and Services
Dear Ambassador Greer:
The undersigned organizations represent the U.S. economy’s leading innovators, creators, manufacturers, and service providers who both develop and deploy technologies and creative content that American consumers and businesses use and enjoy every day. Our products and services give the American people the tools to create, use, and enjoy an ever-expanding variety of American innovation and expression and drive our manufacturing edge. Technology drives high-paying jobs at multiple skill levels in every state in the nation and forms the foundation of productivity for every sector of the economy. The global market for U.S. technological and creative products and services is thriving.
In short, American leadership in global technology has never been greater. Yet, as the race for global technology dominance continues, U.S. companies must be able to innovate vigorously and develop both the technologies that are already ubiquitous and those that will define the future.
