Technology & Innovation
Embracing new technologies to solve our biggest challenges, from energy to healthcare to transportation.
The Problem
America's technological leadership is being challenged by outdated regulations, slow-moving bureaucracy, and a political establishment that often fears rather than embraces innovation.
Our regulatory systems were designed for the industrial age, not the digital age, creating unnecessary barriers to the development and deployment of new technologies that could solve our most pressing problems.
Our Vision
We envision an America that leads the world in technological innovation, where entrepreneurs and scientists have the freedom to create solutions to our biggest challenges without unnecessary regulatory barriers.
Our approach combines a deep respect for technological progress with sensible safeguards that protect public safety while allowing for rapid innovation and deployment of beneficial technologies.
Key Initiatives
Regulatory Reform for Innovation
Create innovation-friendly regulatory frameworks that focus on outcomes rather than prescriptive rules. Establish regulatory sandboxes where new technologies can be tested with appropriate oversight but minimal bureaucracy. Streamline approval processes for breakthrough technologies in critical areas like healthcare, energy, and transportation.
Advanced Energy Solutions
Accelerate the development and deployment of next-generation energy technologies, including advanced nuclear, fusion, geothermal, and improved renewables. Reform regulations that slow the deployment of these technologies and invest in the infrastructure needed to support a diverse, resilient energy system.
Healthcare Innovation
Reform FDA approval processes to get safe, effective treatments to patients faster. Support the development of personalized medicine, AI-powered diagnostics, and other breakthrough technologies that can improve outcomes while reducing costs. Create a healthcare data infrastructure that enables innovation while protecting privacy.
Digital Infrastructure
Build world-class digital infrastructure, including universal high-speed internet access, a modern electrical grid, and systems to support autonomous vehicles and other emerging technologies. Reform permitting processes that delay infrastructure development and create frameworks for public-private partnerships.
AI and Automation Policy
Develop policies that harness the benefits of artificial intelligence and automation while addressing potential challenges. Support AI research and applications that enhance human capabilities and solve important problems. Create education and workforce development programs to help Americans adapt to technological change.
