ITIF Knowledge Bases

Technological innovations drive economic growth and social progress. They boost productivity; they improve national competitiveness; and they enhance our quality of life. They also can be disruptive, which is one reason they can raise questions for policymakers. But before delving into the policy implications of a new technology, it is important to understand the fundamentals of how it works and why it matters.

ITIF’s Big Tech Policy Tracker is a knowledge base documenting domestic and international policies that undermine leading U.S. technology companies’ ability to innovate and compete at a time when their success is essential for U.S. competitiveness and security.

Now updated for 2025–2026, ITIF’s Tech Policy To-Do List is a knowledge base of nearly 140 actionable policy ideas for Congress, the administration, and regulatory agencies to spur innovation, growth, and U.S. global competitiveness.
