Press Release
The Ronald Reagan Institute’s program on the National Security Innovation Base (NSIB) is dedicated to assessing the health of the national security innovation ecosystem. The NSIB ecosystem includes a broad array of actors, including our national security agencies and organizations, various research centers and laboratories, universities and academia, traditional defense “primes,” commercial sector disruptors, venture capital, and the innovative systems of American allies and partners. In order to sustain America’s competitive advantage and to achieve its national security objectives, the common purpose and coordinated efforts of these key stakeholders are vital.
The Reagan Institute's NSIB Report Card is a groundbreaking initiative to measure the health, effectiveness, and resilience of this ecosystem and provide recommendations for improvement. The third annual NSIB Report Card will be featured at next year’s NSIB Summit on March 5, 2025, at the Ronald Reagan Institute in Washington, DC. The Summit convenes leaders across the NSIB ecosystem to discuss the central challenges identified in the Report Card that the United States faces in maintaining and expanding its technological edge.
