Built for Manufacturers, By Manufacturers

Our events, our activities and our outcomes prioritize adding value to our manufacturing industry members. We focus on the things that matter most to manufacturing. We create connections between manufacturers and use the partnership as a platform to leverage connections with public partners, education, workforce programs, and manufacturing-focused service providers.
