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, and 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.
