Enter PRISM, a solutions-driven supply chain collective.
Results Driven Convening for Real Impact
PRISM is not just about increasing access, though it will. It is not just about improving the bottom line, though it will. It is about shaping the future, preserving and strengthening our economic and national security at a time when it is needed most.
We are experiencing unprecedented and accelerating change – a period of digital transformation, AI implementation, quantum computing, and space expansion; all at a time of skyrocketing energy demand, surging need for data centers, diminishing access to necessary minerals, and geo-political strife. Responding to these strains and complexities requires unprecedented coordination and collaboration between the public and private sector.
As we look to the future, it is time to transform, meet the challenge, and scale, while using all available tools in our trade policy, economic diplomacy, and innovation toolkits. A new and powerful partnership established as a 501(c)(3) organization, PRISM will act as a consortium and a convener on an international scale with industry at the helm for results-driven impact.
The time for action is now.
In a fast-paced increasingly contentious global business environment, companies and industries can no longer afford to sit idly on the sidelines hoping to be invited into the conversation by the government, offloading their advocacy efforts to government affairs organizations, or expecting think-tanks to move the needle on critical discussions.
A new model of advocacy and engagement is needed for this new global and national political and corporate environment. PRISM is this model.
Decades of experience at work
Kristi Rogers and Steve Clemons are highly respected leaders in Washington D.C. bringing with them decades of experience in communications, policy, and most importantly in achieving successful outcomes. PRISM leverages their experience and expertise by delivering a tailor-made solution for this new environment that blends high-profile, focused engagements that bring together the public and private sector from the beginning to develop real and actionable solutions to tackle the most pressing policy issues facing our country and our allies.
PRISM’s Mission
PRISM’s ultimate objective is to bolster economic and national security by increasing access to and strengthening the resiliency of indispensable supply chains. PRISM's mission is rooted in promoting technological innovation and international collaboration to achieve security, resiliency, and sustainability in our most indispensable supply chains – critical minerals and rare earths, advanced technologies, medical and agricultural goods, etc.
PRISM strategically advances the discussion, reach deeper into the U.S. and allied governments to effect lasting change, and when necessary, educate and inform the media, public, and civil society groups.
