The first executive order will launch competitions for three Manufacturing Innovation Institutes, partnerships focused on developing manufacturing technologies, and will call on Congress to set aside $1 billion for the creation of 15 such institutes modeled off a pilot program in Youngstown, Ohio.

The second executive order will require that all new government data be available in “open, machine-readable formats” to help technology entrepreneurs and researchers in their work.

Some more of the good side of Obama!!! More tech, science and manufacturing!!!! This is what he needs to focus on.
