History of ManufacturingCommunities

➔ 2014 Investing in Manufacturing Communities Partnership (IMCP) unfunded designations (13 federal agencies) ◆ Communities meet rigorous selection criteria:

● Organize a diverse public/private backbone organization● Conduct a regional SWOT analysis● Create a plan that addresses workforce, supply, research,

infrastructure, trade & capital access ◆ Over 70 US regions apply for Designation

➔ 24 Regions Designated as IMCP Communities in 2 Years➔ https://www.eda.gov/archives/2016/imcp/communities/

◆ Designation comes with technical assistance, some preference for grants, branding, bottom up know how

◆ Community of practice develops amongst the regions◆ AMCC Formed, new $25M DMCSP iteration created

Basics on the Endless Frontier Act

1. EFA inspired by the name of the paper resulting from FDR’s 1945 request2. Over $100B going to students and key entities across the country to carry out

seven main activities for ten key technologies.3. The seven activities are:

a. Create 10-15 regional technology hubs building from IMCP example b. Research spending at universities to advance key technologiesc. New scholarship and training programs in targeted research areas d. Development of test bed and fabrication facilitiese. Programs to accelerate tech transfer and capital attraction f. Planning and coordination with with state and local stakeholders g. Research spending in collaboration with U.S. allies and others

4. The ten technologies are a) artificial intelligence, b) high performance computing, c) quantum computing, d) advanced manufacturing, e) disaster prevention, f) advanced communications, g) biotechnology, h) advanced energy, i) cybersecurity, j) materials science

The "Endless Frontier Act”

will:

◎ Restore the foundation for trans-regional manufacturing and industrial networks

◎ Rebuild pathways of socioeconomic advancement for those who have been adversely affected by the loss of US manufacturing jobs.

◎ Serve as a catalyst for “ingepreneurial” ecosystems across the country

◎ Improve institutional trust and community-centric values required for collaborative economic development.

Greater Pittsburgh Metals and
