Over the past 50 years, the United States has led the world in science
and technology innovation. Yet now there are troubling signs of a
downward trend in American innovation. Last year, for example, was the
first time that non-U.S. innovators filed more patents than Americans;
the United States is also falling behind other countries in the
percentage of gross domestic product spent on national research and
development.
On June 8, the Brookings Institution will host a forum on improving U.S.
science and technology innovation and investment. The inaugural A.
Alfred Taubman Forum will convene leaders from government, higher
education, and business to discuss policy actions that will improve the
climate for science and technology in the United States.
