FORGE 2024 Impact Report cover

FORGE 2024 Impact Report

Read on to celebrate everything our network of innovative companies, supply chain members, and ecosystem collaborators achieved in 2024. Together, we made a tangible impact on physical product innovation in New England this year, and we look forward to continuing to fulfill our mission in 2025 and beyond.

As a data-driven organization dedicated to continuous improvement, FORGE values sharing our impact statistics and getting feedback from our local innovation and manufacturing ecosystem. Every year we put out an Impact Report with those statistics, plus reports on our initiatives and top stories from our regional network of innovative companies, manufacturers, suppliers, and ecosystem collaborators. 

We believe that if you can invent it here, you should be empowered to manufacture it here – and with every report we put out, we’ve documented how we and our community have worked to empower innovators to establish local supply chains. The data and anecdotes we collect from our network inspire us to find more and better ways to drive the scaling of regional, physical product innovation.
