Advancing Economic Prosperity and National Security Through Digital Adoption in Manufacturing

The Digital Manufacturing & Cybersecurity Institute

MxD (Manufacturing x Digital) empowers U.S. economic prosperity and national security by driving digital adoption in manufacturing. In partnership with the Department of Defense, we work with the nation’s industrial base to solve critical manufacturing challenges and build a highly skilled workforce that can keep up with global competition.

How we deliver on our mission

These are the three pillars that define the work we do and impact we deliver to our member, partner and stakeholder network:

Convene

We convene our network of manufacturers, academic institutions and government stakeholders to solve critical manufacturing challenges.

Advance

We advance digital adoption by modernizing supply chains and ensuring safe and secure cybersecurity practices.

Empower

We empower the workforce with accessible learning tools to develop new skills, ensuring a brighter future ahead.

Discover the value we provide, in person.

Throughout the year, we open our doors for staff-led tours of our state-of-the-art facility and MxD Factory Floor. We invite you to explore our experiential manufacturing environment, where you can experiment with and see digital manufacturing technologies in action. This is also the perfect opportunity to discover the many benefits of membership, including exclusive access to hands-on workshops, valuable networking events, and collaborative
project opportunities.
