The need for manufacturing at scale points to a worrying deficiency in the United States' ability to match China's manufacturing competitiveness. For example, while more than one billion smartphones are produced each year across East Asia, none are produced in the 9

Firms in the optoelectronic semiconductor industry, for example, are attracted by bigger markets and lower costs overseas, but in moving offshore for shorter-term gains they abandon new and emerging technologies in the United States. The question then becomes how can that gap between production and technology be bridged in the United States, and how can products be made in the U.S.

IBM's Kathleen Kingscott offered remarks regarding important questions for IBM including how, in a competitive global environment, the institutes create knowledge, enable technology transfer, and bridge the "valley of death" between innovation and commercialization. As a global business that participates in a variety of industry consortia around the world, IBM is compelled to look at how the institutes operate with respect to the "global state of play," she said, citing the need for U.S.

This investment, he said, is used to form partnerships to "provide connectivity between entities across the state to promote the acceleration of the advancement of these technologies in these institutes." By doing so, it deepens the institutes' ability to form partnerships between entities across the state, while emphasizing regionality to amplify and enhance the success of the partnerships. With the state investment, institutes, research centers, and regional industry partners now have joint access to a multi-million-dollar secured foundry at MIT Lincoln Labs, and local companies are able to develop new capabilities and products and do trusted-foundry defense work.
