Critical Technologies for the Future
by Mildred Holley, Technology Programs Manager

Do you know that the federal government has identified technologies that are considered of national importance? What are they, and why would you care? It's probably safe to assume that product innovations in these technologies will be the recipients of significant federal dollars to further development and/or to acquire the finished goods.

There are seven broad categories on the National Critical Technologies list. They are Energy; Environmental Quality; Information and Communications; Living Systems; Manufacturing; Materials; and Transportation. You can access background information about the National Critical Technologies List and view specific technologies identified in each category at http://clinton1.nara.gov/White_House/EOP/OSTP/CTIformatted/AppA/appa.html.
