2025 - Building the Future: A New Era of Industrial Policy

Building the Future: A New Era of Industrial Policy

14th Annual JRCPPF Conference | February 20-21, 2025

The Center's 14th annual conference starts explored the resurgence of industrial policy in the last decade in response to global challenges like the climate crisis, geopolitical tensions, and supply chain issues. The goals of new industrial policy include assuring a competitive supply of products and technologies, strategically positioning domestic firms in the development of next-generation technologies, addressing market failures, and promoting growth in selected industries. How does the new industrial policy differ from the old? What are the lessons from China's approach to industrial policy? How can emerging market nations draft their own industrial policy playbook? What have we learned from the U.S. policies implemented through the CHIPS, IRA, and other recent measures?
