Florida Atlantic University recently welcomed Kelly Loeffler, administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration, and Chris Pilkerton, assistant secretary for investment security at the U.S. Department of the Treasury, to its Boca Raton campus for a roundtable discussion on how universities, industry, investors and government can work together to strengthen U.S. leadership in critical and emerging technologies. The discussion centered on advancing federal priorities in quantum and other critical technologies, investment security, resilient domestic supply chains, the defense industrial base and technology workforce development, while highlighting the economic impact of technology investment in Florida. “Groundbreaking technologies are a force multiplier for economic growth, and the public-private partnership across industry, education and government that Florida Atlantic University has brought to bear means these technologies can benefit society in meaningful ways,” said SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler. fau.edu/newsdesk/articles/oc…
