Raising capital for startups or even existing companies can be challenging in any business sector, but especially so for the additive manufacturing (AM) industry.
Additive manufacturing embodies digital manufacturing and has the potential to dramatically alter the manufacturing landscape. Recognizing its ability to greatly accelerate new technological innovations for aerospace, defense, automotive, communication, personalized medicine and space exploration, this discussion will provide insights to develop strategic, industry-academia partnerships and funding opportunities from key federal agencies (DoD, DOE, NASA, NSF), industry-consortia and the state of Arizona.
Attendees will hear from a distinguished team of experts as they share insight on how to leverage funding opportunities to chart a pathway for growing and sustaining additive manufacturing in the state, as well as further establishing Arizona as a hotbed for AM driven innovation and entrepreneurship.
Key Take-Aways:
- Understanding of all funding sources, highlighting the most 3D print friendly
- How to select the best grant for your project
- Proposal development tips and tricks
