About PRISM.
PRISM is a non profit, tax deductible 501(c)(3) that strategically advances the discussion, reaches deeper into the U.S. and allied governments to effect lasting change, and when necessary, educates and informs the media, public, and civil society groups. 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 preeminent convener on an international scale with industry at the helm for results-driven impact.
