Iowa Manufacturing 4.0: Unleashing New Potential
ON DEMAND WEBINAR
Duration: 50 minutes
Iowa’s reputation as a national leader in advanced manufacturing stems from its storied history of innovation and ingenuity. Driven by the third highest concentration of manufacturing workers in the country and more than 4,100 manufacturers producing everything from medical devices to aerospace products, Iowa’s number one industry generates $29 billion annually for the state’s economy.
To build upon the industry’s strong momentum, Iowa formed an industry-led Manufacturing 4.0 initiative resulting in a strategic plan designed to help Iowa-based manufacturers address Industry 4.0’s challenges of adopting new technologies, increasing productivity and competing for talent amid ongoing globalization.
During this webinar, leaders representing Iowa’s advanced manufacturing industry will cover:
- The state’s support for growth in the advanced manufacturing industry
