Regional stakeholders across the country have made meaningful progress in building manufacturing ecosystems, but progress remains "good but insufficient." Fragmented funding, overlapping agency programs, uneven data, and limited local capacity continue to slow the transformation we need.
The 2026 Manufacturing Momentum Summit Workshop brings together federal and regional leaders, workforce partners, and policy innovators to share strategies, compare evidence, and build the durable national structures that can deliver results at the speed and scale required.
This is an invitation-only convening co-hosted by AMCC and New America — limited to leaders actively shaping manufacturing ecosystems through consortia, policy, workforce development, and innovation.
