IAMT is a policy and research organization dedicated to restoring and strengthening the industrial foundations of the United States — advanced manufacturing, reliable energy infrastructure, and artificial intelligence.
IAMT produces applied research, policy analysis, and strategic frameworks aimed at rebuilding the country's ability to build, power, and govern its own technological and industrial future.
Each institute operates with specialized focus while contributing to a unified understanding of American industrial capacity.
The Aegis Institute focuses on artificial intelligence, compute infrastructure, data systems, and the strategic governance of advanced technologies.
The Atlas Institute focuses on energy systems, power generation, grid reliability, and the infrastructure required to support industrial growth.
The Forge Institute focuses on manufacturing, industrial capacity, supply chains, and the policies required to restore domestic production.
The U.S. is contracting decades of new thermal generation without seriously examining how that heat is converted. Recompression supercritical CO2 Brayton cycles deliver 45 to 50% thermal efficiency where steam cycles reach 33 to 37%. The plants being contracted today will run until 2070. This is a 50-year decision being made by default.
Idaho state agencies are using software systems right now to screen benefit applications, flag tax returns, score risk in child welfare cases, and decide how...
American federalism is at a technological crossroads. While the private sector uses agentic AI to synthesize data at incredible speeds, state governments are largely constrained...
Our research addresses the structural conditions that determine whether the United States can build, power, and govern its own industrial future.
Analyzing the structural and policy conditions that determine whether American firms can compete in advanced manufacturing at global scale.
Mapping vulnerabilities in semiconductor, energy, and manufacturing supply chains that create strategic risk.
Addressing permitting, regulatory, and capacity barriers that prevent the construction of critical energy and industrial infrastructure.
Developing frameworks for governing AI, compute infrastructure, data systems, and advanced technologies at the national level.
Assessing domestic capacity to produce military hardware, munitions, and strategic materials at the scale national security requires.
Evaluating next-generation nuclear, fusion, and advanced baseload generation technologies required to power industrial and compute growth.
Analyzing how trade policy, tariff structures, and technology export controls shape domestic manufacturing and strategic competitiveness.
Building the human capital systems, training pipelines, and apprenticeship programs required to sustain advanced manufacturing and technology deployment.
IAMT is building the research and policy infrastructure to address America's industrial challenges.
