Our Impact

Advances in technology are revolutionizing our way of life, and disruptive technologies present unique challenges. The Potomac Institute identifies, researches, and leads discussions on key S&T and national security issues facing our society. We provide an academic forum for the study of policy issues with the goal of educating and empowering stakeholders in government, business, and the broader public. Based on data and evidence, we develop policy recommendations and facilitate implementation at the intersection of business and government.

Since 1994, the Potomac Institute has provided nonpartisan, data-driven analysis and policy recommendations on a range of S&T topics. Over the decades, the Potomac Institute has become the “go to” place for independent, objective, and informed S&T policy and analysis. Our research has impacted decisions of key stakeholders at multiple levels of government and across the private sector.
