Why Manufacturing Here Matters
Manufacturing Locally Matters
If you can invent it locally, you should be able to manufacture it locally. Local production offers unique competitive advantages for innovators.
- Meet manufacturers and suppliers in person to review designs and discuss strategies
- Have a front-row seat when your product comes off the line
- Benefit from strengthened communication, quality control, and shorter lead times
- Avoid the unexpected tariffs, shipping costs, and management overhead of overseas partnerships
- Contribute to the local economy
- Reduce your carbon footprint
