To remain competitive in the next economy, the United States must expand its innovation footprint, and there is a growing urgency to capitalize on the untapped talent, technology, and infrastructure across America.

Under the auspices of the National Commission on Innovation and Competitiveness Frontiers, the Council on Competitiveness has launched its “Competitiveness Conversations Across America” leadership series: a set of regional summits and fora in all corners of the United States to uncover local best practices in amplifying innovation capacity and capability, and to elevate and deploy these practices to national attention.

A Competitiveness Conversation: The Mountain West—Pioneering Climate Resilience & Quantum Innovation
This Competitiveness Conversation—held in Boulder, Colorado, and featuring partners from Wyoming and New Mexico—will spotlight the region’s leadership in climate resilience and quantum technology, which together are shaping the future of sustainability and global innovation.

Join us to engage in senator and governor-level dialogues on accelerating the commercialization of these technologies, fostering a robust and inclusive innovation ecosystem, and securing the Mountain West’s position as a global leader in climate resilience and quantum technology. The conversation will surface strategies for enhancing regional and national competitiveness, driving economic growth, and strengthening America’s environmental and national security in an era of rapid change.
