The Ronald Reagan Institute’s program on the National Security Innovation Base is dedicated to assessing the health of the national security-innovation ecosystem. The foundation for the program is the Institute’s 2019 Task Force on 21st-Century National Security Technology and Workforce, which was an ambitious project designed to help the United States achieve long-lasting competitive advantage in technology and innovation.
Seeking to fill a critical gap identified by the Task Force, our program on the National Security Innovation Base has produced the first report card to measure the health, effectiveness, and resilience of this ecosystem and provide recommendations for improvement. The report card’s findings and recommendations were discussed at our first annual National Security Innovation Base Summit held on March 14 at the Ronald Reagan Institute in Washington DC.
