This research report discusses how governments are investing in prioritized RFID and related technologies projects and programs, and are funding related research projects (technology advancement). It also discusses how governments are using these initiatives to educate businesses and the public about RFID in order to encourage adoption and drive the future competitive positions of their countries. Other governments are currently outpacing the United States government, raising the question: is the United States a laggard? Is the Federal government being less proactive that it could be in developing and driving a long-term, centralized investment strategy for RFID and related sensor-based technologies?

• What is the difference between government spending and investment/support of RFID?
• Why is government investment in RFID and related technologies important to the evolution of the industry?
• What are some of the key government investment initiatives outside the United States?
• What is the current US approach to investment in the advancement of, and R&D for, RFID and related technologies?
• What conclusions can we reach about various governmental approaches?
• What do we recommend to drive more visible US government participation and investment in RFID and related technologies such as NFC?
