Network of Networks Effort

Save the dates, November 2 and 3 from 10-11:30am ET on both days.  Thanks to our partnership with The Office of the Secretary of Defense Manufacturing Technology Office (OSD ManTech), a virtual workshop will be held in two 90-minute sessions.  These short sessions starting with a focus on workforce are in preparation for a larger in-person convening in the Spring of 2023.  OSD ManTech sponsors the nine DoD Manufacturing Innovation Institutes (MIIs) and, with AMCC and others, wants to connect manufacturing communities and federal manufacturing programs into a “network of networks” for better American outcomes. These virtual sessions will serve as a “call for topics” for the Spring 2023 event.
