Foundation for American Innovation and Manhattan institute hosted an event with cocktails and conversation during NYC Tech Week—an off-the-record gathering of tech founders, builders, VC's, and policy thinkers who believe in growth, meritocracy, and American dynamism.

The Manhattan Institute and the Foundation for American Innovation hosted cocktails and conversation during NYC Tech Week—an off-the-record gathering of tech founders, builders, VC's, and policy thinkers who believe in growth, meritocracy, and American dynamism. We asked the question—as Washington fumbles with AI regulations and global competitors like China close in, how should the tech right respond? What are the real barriers to innovation? And why is the tech right emerging as a distinct, disruptive voice in politics and culture?

A four-day event to connect people & ideas in the progress movement

Abundance stems from the idea that society’s challenges cannot all be resolved merely by regulation or redistribution, but also require the active expansion of material resources, opportunity, and productivity. Abundance will require realigning incentives and redesigning processes to create a bigger, more inclusive economy. It will also require shifting away from the scarcity mindset that dominates our political discourse, too often upheld by those invested in maintaining the status quo. The Abundance Movement promises more opportunities for vastly more people, eager to prove that we can all rise together.

This event is organized by the Breakthrough Institute and co-chaired by FAI executive director Zach Graves. Learn more:  



Abundance 2025 is co-hosted by 13 policy organizations, representing a diversity of subject matter expertises and ideological traditions. The conference will showcase this diversity, surfacing opportunities for bipartisan cooperation and competition on abundance issues including infrastructure, science, housing, state capacity, energy, and immigration.
