The NSI Cyber and Technology Center (CTC) expands NSI’s current efforts to promote American leadership in technology innovation and engage with policymakers on critical issues at the intersection of technology and national security.

NSI CTC’s mission is to promote – through dialogue with experts, engagement with policymakers, and cutting-edge research – American technology leadership and to tackle critical innovation, cyber, and emerging technology challenges.

Throughout much of the 20th century, the United States led the world in technological innovation, with the new systems and industries arising from this leadership driving sustained economic growth and underpinning U.S. national security capabilities. To maintain its global leadership, the U.S. must continue to promote rapid innovation and economic growth domestically, and create effective capabilities to protect and defend the U.S. and allied economic base.

NSI CTC’s focuses on critical issue areas for U.S. technological innovation:

• Harnessing and advancing U.S. technology innovation, including emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, as it relates to U.S. economic and national security;
• Bringing together the public and private sectors to create a collaborative, productive, and effective national cyber defense to confront the evolving cyber threat environment;
• Working with allies and partners to ensure a global tech ecosystem that promotes trusted systems and U.S. competitiveness;
• Affirming the U.S.’s dominance in blockchain innovation to protect U.S. national security; and
• Maintaining U.S. dominance in technology innovation through growing and strengthening the U.S. tech workforce.
