Ecosystem Engineering — Leveraging a Statewide Manufacturing Response as a Foundation for a Competitive and Secure Future

How can local and regional manufacturing ecosystems be leveraged during a crisis? As part of the Baker-Polito Administration’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Massachusetts Manufacturing Emergency Response Team (MA M-ERT) was established to mobilize, organize, and operationalize critical path work streams necessary for Massachusetts manufacturers to pivot their operations to produce needed FDA compliant medical devices and supplies at scale. Using this as a foundation, how can this ecosystem engineering approach be leveraged to address critical supply chain crises and create a long-term impact on the competitiveness and security of our future? This webinar will address these questions and give you an opportunity to ask your own!
