By welcoming eager, talented workers, we expand America's potential for growth, and our competitive culture of invention and possibility.

The United States is definitely ahead in culture of innovation. If someone wants to accomplish great things, there is no better place than the U.S.

The U.S. tries to provide immigrants who grow up here with a world-class education and imbue them with the can-do attitude that has long defined American innovation.

The single most important factor in determining America's success in the 21st century will be maintaining our ability to be an innovative and creative society.

America still has the right stuff to thrive. We still have the most creative, diverse, innovative culture and open society - in a world where the ability to imagine and generate new ideas with speed and to implement them through global collaboration is the most important competitive advantage.

The United States is still an enormous generator of innovation, from which other nations have long benefitted. But we now also have the opportunity to benefit from innovation taking place around the world.

We have been blessed with a healthy, growing economy, with more Americans going back to work, and with our Nation acting as a positive force for good in the world.

When I was a young man in the 1970s, tech firms were scattered across the developed world. Since then, America has come to dominate tech almost totally.

The American people are among the most productive in the world. We have the best technologies. We have great universities. We have entrepreneurs.

Every technological advance we've made in the 21st century and throughout the 20th has come from the United States of America.
