MxD leverages collective expertise to solve problems too large for any one organization

Our partners receive value through three primary initiatives

Workshops

Topic-focused sessions where partners engage in solution oriented discussions to drive projects and investments

Projects

Collaborative R&D focused on reduction to practice and business impact (60+ project portfolio, $90M+)

Factory Testbed

Creating an experiential manufacturing environment to demo, test & prove a wide variety of DM&D technologies

National Association of Manufacturers

Over the next decade, nearly 3.5 million manufacturing jobs will be needed.

2 million of those jobs are expected to go unfilled due to a skills shortage.

MxD aspires to define those roles, the pathways to reach them, and the skills required to do them.
