About Silverado Policy Accelerator
Silverado Policy Accelerator is a Washington, D.C.– based geopolitical think tank turning data-driven policy ideas into actionable solutions.
We believe the defining challenge of the 21st century is maintaining American leadership and competitiveness amid renewed great-power competition. Our work drives tangible policy outcomes across four strategic pillars:
- National Security
- Trade & Industrial Security
- Resource & Energy Security
- Cybersecurity & AI
Our work across these pillars advances Silverado's mission to advance American prosperity and global competitiveness by accelerating bipartisan economic, strategic, and technological policy solutions.
From Ideas to Implementation
No one has a monopoly on solutions to complex global challenges. At Silverado, we believe that fundamental disagreement over questions of American policy is not only an inevitable byproduct of our democratic process; it is an absolutely indispensable part of that process.
Through public events, roundtable discussions, papers, op-eds, and new institutional partnerships, we're bringing together policy experts and stakeholders from different disciplines, industries, and political vantage-points to challenge entrenched ideas about American leadership and build consensus around new paths toward American prosperity and global competitiveness in the 21st century.
