The National Association of Manufacturers announced it has launched the new Driving the Agenda for Technology Advancement Policy Center, geared toward educating policymakers and the public about manufacturers’ role in driving technology forward. The D.A.T.A. Center will provide an additional tool to increase awareness and portray modern manufacturing as the sleek, technology-driven industry it truly is. From products to processes, tools to equipment, employees to customers, technology is the adhesive that bonds together manufacturing in the United States. NAM President and CEO Jay Timmons said, “The innovation that drives manufacturing and improves the lives of all Americans needs a national technology policy that will allow it to flourish.”
