Jeff Bergeron, chief technology officer for HP’s U.S. Public Sector, joined members of Congress today on Capitol Hill to support the American Research and Competitiveness Act of 2011.
By strengthening the research and development (R&D) tax credit and making it permanent, HP believes the bill will create new opportunities for economic growth in the US.
“As the world’s largest technology company, HP has a long history of investing in American innovation. We strongly support these efforts that provide richer incentives for R&D,” said Bergeron.
Larry Irving, vice president of global government affairs added, “America’s economy is fueled by investments in research and development and our national competitiveness will be strengthened by enhancing and making the tax credit permanent.”
