Join us at an upcoming forum where we’d like to share the topline results from the recent Manufacturing Innovation and New Technology Adoption Study and see if it resonates with you.
Impact Washington initiated the Manufacturing Innovation and New Technology Adoption Study to understand better our state's small-to-medium manufacturing firms' current and projected technologies. We know that technology drives long-term productivity growth and workers’ incomes.
There is a real opportunity for developing successful state-level technology-based economic development (TBED) strategies to achieve substantial growth. The critical point is a TBED will require investments in technology, hardware/software, labor skills, and supporting technical infrastructure (Tassey, 2019).
So, where do we start? This Manufacturing Innovation and New Technology Adoption Study is just the beginning of an initiative to unlock the creation of positive economic trends and develop regional synergies.
The topline findings we’d like to share include:
- Key findings?
- Central recommendations?
We need a firm headcount at each forum, so please be sure to let us know you will be attending by registering today:
