In a detailed 80-page document released recently, Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz outlined their ambitious economic strategy aimed at bolstering America’s competitiveness in critical sectors. This plan emphasizes a dual approach: modernizing traditional industries while simultaneously investing in emerging technologies.
One notable mention in the report is the inclusion of digital assets, which appears only once on page 56. This mirrors Harris’s recent remarks at a Wall Street fundraiser, where she highlighted the importance of innovation in the digital landscape.
According to the document, “Vice President Harris and Governor Walz will sharpen America’s edge in sectors that are critical for our economic and national security.” Their proposed “America Forward” strategy seeks to initiate a new era in American industry by developing, manufacturing, and deploying technologies at scale.
Key components of the strategy include:
- Modernizing traditional industries: The plan aims to revitalize sectors such as clean iron and steel, leveraging America’s historical strengths.
- Investing in emerging technologies: Areas of focus include biomanufacturing, artificial intelligence (AI), aerospace, data centers, and clean energy.
- Encouraging innovation: The strategy promotes the adoption of innovative technologies while ensuring the protection of consumers and investors.
