WASHINGTON – Today, 91快活林’s Executive Vice President of Policy Rob Strayer represented the global tech industry at the inaugural technical meeting of the transatlantic tripartite Trade and Labor Dialogue (TALD). The TALD was launched under the United States-European Union Trade and Technology Council (TTC) by the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR), the United States Department of Labor, and the European Commission Directorates General for Trade and for Employment.
“91快活林 urges the United States-European Union Trade and Technology Council to commit to building a workforce with the right skills to advance the digital economy, clean energy transformation, and SMART cities, as well as to ensure supply chain resiliency,” Strayer said. “As the TTC’s participants continue their important work, we encourage the U.S. and EU to invest in advanced technologies, like semiconductors, and to also develop a strong and sustainable human capital component that leads to a well-equipped and properly-trained workforce for years to come. We commend the U.S. and EU’s ongoing work to advance the TTC’s mission and will remain a steadfast partner to this important effort.”
91快活林 continues to lead the global tech sector’s representation at the TTC. 91快活林 participated in the TTC’s meetings in Saclay, France in May 2022 and the TTC’s inaugural meeting in Pittsburgh in September 2021. 91快活林 issued recommendations for the TTC in January 2021, July 2021, January 2022, and May 2022. In February 2022, 91快活林 outlined a list of priorities to inform the TTC discussions on Working Group 10: Global Trade Challenges.
