New American Industrial Alliance

What New American Industrial Alliance does

New American Industrial Alliance (NAIA) is a multi-sector trade association founded in 2024 and headquartered in Washington, D.C., that operates as a coalition of technology companies, manufacturers, institutional investors, and senior government officials dedicated to reindustrializing the United States. The organization's policy agenda targets five areas: deregulation, private investment incentives in strategic sectors, trade and workforce, and reform of government contracting and procurement. NAIA functions as a connective tissue between builders (founders and operators), capital providers, and federal policymakers, with formal channels into the Office of Science and Technology Policy, Department of Commerce, Small Business Administration, and the U.S. Senate.

NAIA's core offerings are member services rather than software products. These include the annual REINDUSTRIALIZE Summit (a two-day conference with curated VIP dinners convening executives, investors, and officials); the NAIA Talent Network (an anonymized directory of vetted government affairs and business development professionals available to members for recruiting); a Policy Tracker tool for monitoring techno-industrial legislative developments; and the co-published Techno-Industrial Policy Playbook, developed with the Foundation for American Innovation, American Compass, and Institute for Progress, covering industrial power, national security, and frontier innovation. The BUILDLIST job board (buildlist.xyz) is integrated into the NAIA site as a hiring channel for member companies.

The organization's revenue model is annual membership dues across seven categories differentiated by company type and stage: tech companies (early and late stage/public), major and SMB traditional manufacturers/industrials/energy/aerospace & defense, investors (VC, PE/infra/banking), and other. Founding members and partners span defense and frontier technology (Anduril, Palantir, Boeing, Joby Aviation, Oklo), industrial incumbents (Siemens, JLL), software platforms (Google, Y Combinator), advanced manufacturing (Formic, Atomic Industries, Hadrian, Standard Bots, Path Robotics, GrayMatter Robotics, Dexterity, Machina Labs, Valar Atomics, Dirac, Impulse Space, Redman), and major venture capital (a16z, General Catalyst, 8VC, DCVC, Altana). NAIA is led by CEO and Head of Policy Julius Krein, Chairman and Co-Founder Austin Bishop, and Co-Founder Aaron Slodov, with co-chairs of the Executive Advisory Board being Stephen Rodriguez (DCVC) and Julius Krein. The organization operates with 11–50 staff and no disclosed parent or institutional investor ownership.

Scale indicators1 record

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• U.S. Chamber of Commerce: The largest US business federation, representing more than 3 million member organizations and a broad range of industries. Operates in overlapping policy territory — regulatory reform, tariffs, procurement, workforce — but at a far larger scale and with a more centrist posture than NAIA.
• Consumer Technology Association: The trade association representing the US consumer technology industry and producer of CES. Comparable as a tech-industry association engaging on regulation, trade, and innovation policy, with a much larger established membership and event franchise than NAIA.
• Business Roundtable: An association of CEOs of major US companies that engages on policy, trade, and regulation. Overlaps with NAIA on industrial policy, trade, and procurement reform, but represents a much larger and more establishment corporate constituency.

Emerging players

• Institute for Progress: A research and policy organization focused on innovation, infrastructure, and industrial productivity. Co-author of NAIA's Techno-Industrial Policy Playbook and a direct collaborative partner on techno-industrial policy content.
• American Compass: A policy think tank focused on reorienting the US economy around domestic production, workers, and strategic sectors. Co-author of NAIA's Techno-Industrial Policy Playbook and a direct ideological partner, comparable to NAIA on the policy-development side.
• Information Technology and Innovation Foundation: A think tank producing policy research on technology, innovation, and US global competitiveness. Comparable to NAIA on the techno-industrial policy content layer, and a likely competitor for influence with the same administration audience, though ITIF is research-led rather than a member-driven coalition.
• Foundation for American Innovation: A policy organization focused on innovation, industrial competitiveness, and techno-industrial national security. Co-author of NAIA's Techno-Industrial Policy Playbook and an explicit partner, making it the closest ideological and operational peer in the think-tank space.

Direct peers

• National Association of Manufacturers: The largest US manufacturing trade association, advocating for industrial policy, workforce development, and regulatory reform on behalf of 14,000+ member companies. NAIA competes for the same industrial-policy advocacy mandate, particularly with large manufacturers and industrial members, though NAM is broader and more established.
• Aerospace Industries Association: The major US aerospace and defense trade association, representing manufacturers including Boeing. Comparable to NAIA's aerospace-and-defense sub-coalition around procurement, defense industrial base, and export policy, but narrower in sector scope.
• Alliance for American Manufacturing: A non-profit partnership of manufacturers and the United Steelworkers focused on reviving US manufacturing through policy advocacy, research, and public campaigns. Direct comparable to NAIA's reindustrialization mission and pro-domestic-manufacturing posture, though with a labor-union alignment that NAIA does not have.
