About the Global Competition Project
The Potomac Institute for Policy Studies regularly engages with a spectrum of experts to elevate insights on the primary challenges and opportunities associated with science and technology policy and national security. The Institute’s Global Competition Project (GCP), focused on societal level competition, develops foundational references for national security professionals, policymakers, industry leaders, and others while driving awareness in how the U.S. might address the most consequential aspects of the globally competitive environment. The Project has delivered on that goal through its research, publications, panels, and continuous dialogue, all through the lens of the Institute’s mission intersecting science and technology, business, and government. What are the greatest vulnerabilities to consider? What is at stake for the United States? How do we best leverage our strengths? These are the question the Global Competition Project seeks to answer.
