Agency is one of the most effective, targeted and proven tools within the U.S.
government. I’ve long believed in USTDA’s mission and program, which are
fully aligned with the President’s vision of strengthening our economy and
addressing climate as an essential component of American foreign policy and
national security.”
Prior to her return to USTDA, Ms. Ebong served as the Head of Strategic
