Advancing American prosperity through rigorous research, evidence-based policy analysis, and transformative ideas for the 21st century.
The Center was founded by leading economists and policy scholars with a vision to provide independent, nonpartisan research that would inform national debates on economic competitiveness, innovation policy, and regulatory reform.
As our reputation for rigorous analysis grew, we expanded our research portfolio to include technology policy, entrepreneurship studies, and civic institutions—establishing ourselves as a trusted voice in policy circles.
Recognizing the digital revolution's impact, we modernized our research infrastructure, launched advanced data analytics capabilities, and created digital platforms to disseminate our findings to broader audiences.
Today, we stand as a premier policy research institution, regularly consulted by legislators, industry leaders, and international organizations on critical issues facing American innovation and economic prosperity.
Our mission is to advance American prosperity through groundbreaking research, policy innovation, and intellectual leadership. We produce rigorous, evidence-based scholarship that informs national policy debates, strengthens free enterprise, protects individual liberty, and promotes market-based solutions to the challenges facing our nation.
Our vision is to be the nation's leading independent policy research institution—recognized globally for intellectual rigor, data-driven analysis, and practical policy solutions.

We maintain strict nonpartisan scholarship, free from political constraints or corporate influence.
