Priority Technologies

Edited by MIT professor Elisabeth B. Reynolds with a foreword by Simon Johnson, this book examines six priority technologies critical to US global leadership: critical minerals, semiconductors, drones, biomanufacturing, quantum computing, and advanced manufacturing.

Each chapter was written by an MIT expert in the field, addressing how these technologies underpin national security, economic competitiveness, and technological leadership in response to geopolitical rivalries, supply chain vulnerabilities, and energy threats.
