Techstars Startup Week West Slope

Manufacturing's renaissance in the U.S. has captured the attention of business and economic development professionals across the country, and rightly so. Today's sector is expanding across multiple industries, from aerospace and bioscience, to food and beverage, to promising new consumer opportunities like brewing, distilling, and cannabis. In this session we explore how communities and industries can work together to develop blueprints to support and sustain growing manufacturing ecosystems, from supply chain development to workforce training to specific industry strategies that match current community assets.

This session is designed for manufacturing startups and established companies, service and supply-chain companies, city and local government officials, economic development professionals, and higher education.
