Critical and Emerging Technology List Update
Description
To generate this updated CET list, the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) facilitated an extensive interagency deliberative process through the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) and in coordination with the National Security Council (NSC). The responsible NSTC subcommittee included subject matter experts from 18 departments, agencies, and offices in the Executive Office of the President, who, over the course of a year, identified CET subfields that their home organizations determined may be critical to U.S. national security. As such, this updated CET list, which was coordinated through both the NSTC and the NSC, reflects an interagency consensus on updates to the 2020 CETs.
