Securing America’s manufacturing enterprise is vital to America’s security

The United States manufacturing enterprise is a $2 billion industry employing 9 percent of the nation’s workforce. Achieving short-term and long-term resiliency in this sector is critical to maintaining American competitiveness in the global economic market. 

The SecureAmerica Institute (SAI) is a private-public research collaborative converging industry, government, and academia to integrate advancements in U.S. manufacturing resilience. Our members provide world-class leadership through applied research, scaled education and workforce deployment, economic analysis and policy recommendations, and market-driven technology transition. 

Headquartered at the Texas A&M University System RELLIS campus, we seek to strengthen and expand the United States manufacturing and defense industrial base at the local, state, and national levels to counter global marketplace supply chain disruptions; maintain leadership in the development and deployment of innovative manufacturing technologies and products; and fully employ our people through comprehensive education and training in new and emerging advanced manufacturing technologies and processes.
