Manufacturing Innovation Institutes and State Economic Development Organizations

 3:00 pm UTC

 Webinar

Manufacturing Innovation Institutes (MIIs) are driving innovation in critical technology sectors — but maximizing their impact often depends on creating the right partnerships.

Join Manufacturing Momentum and the State Economic Development Executives (SEDE) Network for a presentation and panel discussion featuring leaders from AIM Photonics and Empire State Development (ESD). They’ll share how their partnership took shape, what each organization brought to the table, and the tangible benefits that followed.

This webinar will provide a cooperative template for MIIs and state economic development agencies.


Webinar Speakers

Amie Kaplin, Interim Executive Director, AIM Photonics

Vincent Esposito, Senior Vice President for Regional Economic Development, Empire State Development
