Description

The Quad Cities Region Technology Roadmap Preview

Presented by: The Quad Cities Chamber's Quad Cities Manufacturing Innovation Hub & Defense Industry Adjustment Project

The new Quad Cities Regional Technology Roadmap is here to help small and medium manufacturers decide which new technologies will have the most impact on their business. Join us to learn how our region will use this to develop a growth strategy that will leverage new technologies and create a competitive advantage.

The roadmap was developed through collaborative input from 45 regional leaders in manufacturing and technology. The roadmap is designed to help organize and focus future efforts to learn and develop regional expertise and capabilities. Everyone in the industry who supports manufacturing with service, systems and education will be able to use this roadmap as a resource to evaluate new technologies.

Join us on Thursday, December 1 and be a part of the discussion for next steps and opportunities for regional Department of Defense and manufacturing supply chains.
