WEEKLY ADDRESS: Ensuring America Leads the World Into the Next Frontier
Source: White House
In this weeks address, President Obama highlighted the White House Frontiers Conference, where many of Americas leading innovators came together to discuss how we can empower people through science, technology, and innovation to lead our communities, our country, and our world in the future.
The President said the advances weve made as a nation demonstrate how investing in science and technology can help develop new jobs and industries, and new discoveries that improve lives and that innovation is in our nations DNA. And thats why the President made the largest single investment in basic research in history; modernized the governments approach to innovation for the 21st Century; and spurred a clean energy revolution, among many other accomplishments in science and technology.
Thats what the Presidents leadership has been about ensuring America is the nation that leads the world into the next frontier.
