WASHINGTON – IPC released its Global Policy Framework for 2015, outlining public policy priorities to promote a strong manufacturing economy.    

The framework targets four areas: driving technological innovation and advanced manufacturing; promoting a 21st century economy and workforce; advocating for smart regulation, and supporting science-based environmental protection.

Specific issues include public-private partnerships for manufacturing innovation, tax policy, education and training, and environmental health and safety policy.

“IPC places a high priority on public policy engagement because governments on all continents are weighing decisions that will affect our industry,” said John Hasselmann, IPC vice president of government relations. “This Global Policy Framework lays the foundation for our advocacy efforts that we will implement in Washington, Brussels, Beijing and beyond.”

The Global Policy Framework can be found at www.ipc.org/global-policy-framework.

Also, Impact 2015: IPC on Capitol Hill is a two-day event April 29 and 30, giving C-level executives an opportunity to interact with senior policymakers and advise them on issues that affect the electronics industry.

Registration for the event will open shortly at www.ipc.org.
