Critical Technologies

Overview

ITI brings together companies that develop critical technologies and those that provide the chips, infrastructure, software, services, and supply chains behind them, giving policymakers a broader view of how decisions in one area affect the entire industry.

ITI’s position: advancing critical technologies from research to use

ITI works with policymakers in the U.S. and around the world to strengthen the technologies and infrastructure that drive innovation and economic growth. ITI supports investment, secure supply chains, and trusted partnerships that recognize how closely connected today’s technologies and markets have become.

1. Invest in critical technologies: ITI supports tax incentives, R&D funding, permitting reform, and workforce policies that expand semiconductor manufacturing and advance quantum, data centers, energy infrastructure, and other critical technologies.
2. Build secure, reliable supply chains: ITI supports growing production of critical technologies while maintaining strong global supply chains. A mix of domestic production and trusted suppliers around the world helps prevent disruptions and reduces dependence on any single source.
3. Take a risk-based approach to technology security: ITI supports working with allies and members to protect critical technologies. Security rules should address specific risks rather than broadly restrict companies based on where they are headquartered.
