Institute for Emerging Issues

•Established in 2002 at NC State University

•Dedicated to seeding innovations through civic

engagement, cooperative leadership and informed

problem-solving in education, health, the natural and

built environments, and the economy.

Why Manufacturing?

• Manufacturing increases the wealth of the communities it supports in both rural and urban areas.

• Manufacturing today includes technology innovation, a highly skilled workforce and above average pay.

• Manufacturing now relies much more on community-wide assets, not just company-wide ones.

Why Manufacturing?

• Successful communities will be poised to understand and take advantage of the assets they have at their disposal to develop manufacturing businesses.

• IEI’s goal is to define the right set of conditions for a community to maximize its opportunities in manufacturing.

Why Manufacturing?Questions IEI seeks to answer:

1. What are the assets communities have at their disposal to develop manufacturing opportunities?

2. What are the state or community factors that help make the probability of success greater?

3. What are the connective pieces (bond/linkages) that need to be in place for communities to realize the economic benefits of manufacturing?

4. How and which communities are successfully taking advantage of the benefits of manufacturing opportunities?

5. What are the key skills among a productive workforce in advanced manufacturing settings?
