The document discusses the opportunities and challenges presented by the Fourth Industrial Revolution. It notes that new technologies like artificial intelligence, digital fabrication, and the fusion of physical and digital worlds are disrupting every industry. To take advantage of these changes, the US needs to invest in translational research, encourage pilot production, empower small manufacturers, and grow technical talent. Strategies like smart manufacturing, systems in a package, continuous manufacturing, and small-batch customized production can help startups leverage new technologies. Federal labs and manufacturing innovation institutes also provide resources to support commercialization. With the right focus on infrastructure, technology, institutions, skills, and demand, the US is well positioned to benefit from the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

already affecting every part
of our lives...every business,
every industry, every
society... even what it
means to be “human.” In
future, it can also change
what we Value, and how
we Value it.”

“ Digital fabrication technologies, meanwhile, are interacting with the biological
world on a daily basis. Engineers, designers, and architects are combining
computational design, additive manufacturing, materials engineering, and synthetic
biology to pioneer a symbiosis between microorganisms, our bodies, the products we
consume, and even the buildings we inhabit.” – World Economic Forum

29. What Exactly is Innovation, Anyway?
“ …New technologies, products,
processes, and business models can drive
economic growth, job creation, and
increases in productivity. These
innovations flow not only from the
development of new technologies (e.g.
cloud computing, the integration of IT
with objects in the physical world through
the “Internet of Things,” predictive data
analytics, advanced materials, energy
storage, life-saving drugs), but also from
novel applications of these technologies
and new business models that create
economic and societal value…. “
