America’s global leadership in medical technology is at risk, but AdvaMed’s Competitiveness Agenda will help sustain American economic leadership in delivering life-saving, life-changing innovation to patients.

America’s medical technology industry is the acknowledged world leader and an engine of economic growth and job creation for the American economy. Today that leadership is increasingly challenged. That’s why AdvaMed has created a policy framework that, when enacted, will help preserve our leadership and foster future growth and innovation. Without strategic government policies to support the medical technology industry’s efforts to compete in world markets, American economic leadership will be lost. 
 

While the policies advocated by AdvaMed are tailored to the specific issues facing the device industry, the need for strategic government policies is applicable to all the high technology, high value sectors in which America must compete effectively if it is to assure robust economic growth and a high standard of living for the American people.
