Maximize U.S. competitiveness and enable economic growth for American industries, workers, and consumers
The Department promotes growth by developing partnerships with state, local, private, and non-profit enterprise so as to encourage economic growth and development.

Finally, the Department encourages growth by assisting small manufacturers.
