“An Update on the SoCal A&D Supply Chain”
Orange County Chapter meeting on September 3
(live webstream available)
The Investing in Manufacturing Communities Partnership (IMCP) initiative was established by the federal government to reinvent how economic development is done in manufacturing through strategic investments to strengthen the capacity of the industrial ecosystem. 86 organizations from industry, academia, government, and economic and workforce development partnered across the four counties of Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, and Ventura to create a collaborative, the Advanced Manufacturing Partnership for Southern California (AMP SoCal) – one of only twelve federally-designated “Manufacturing Communities” – focused on aerospace and defense.
In addition to AMP SoCal approved projects receiving additional “points” for federal grants, the region has benefited from the focused collaboration of the many organizations addressing aerospace & defense.
Please join us in Irvine on Thursday, September 3, 2015, 7:30am – 9:00am PDT (networking at 7:00am), when Jim Watson, CEO of California Manufacturing Technology Consulting (CMTC) and head of the AMP SoCal Supplier Networks Committee, will provide an update on the Southern California A&D Supply Chain including: a SWOT analysis, supplier gaps and initial results from supplier focus groups. The approach the committee will use to engage A&D suppliers will also be discussed.
The meeting is free for A&D Forum members and $40 for non-members ($30 Early Bird until August 27). You may also attend via the web for free. Click here to register to attend the meeting
