Their dedication and bravery safeguard our freedoms and ensure our way of life. "Our debt to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude." – Harry S. Truman

Yesterday, several of our hub members spoke at the Coeur d'Alene Area Economic Development Corporation annual meeting about the tech hub designation we recently received in North Idaho/Eastern Washington. Panelists described the potential impact of the proposed American Aerospace Materials Manufacturing Center, one of 31 tech hubs across the country that were announced last year by the Department of Commerce. This morning the CDA Press featured an article about the panel, you can read here: https://lnkd.in/gD6uNqin Thank you to our hub members who are spreading the word about our important mission and a special thanks to Gynii Abracosa Gilliam and the CDAEDC for featuring the hub!

Managed to grab a group photo of most of our hub members in Paris, France for #JECWorld2024 at the Washington Commerce booth! JEC World has been a great event for engaging in further discussions with numerous industry tech hub partners, and some of our local workforce and economic development partners who attended to learn more about the composites industry. The members pictured below represent Boeing, NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Collins Aerospace, Syensqo, Accudyne Systems, Inc., Spirit AeroSystems, ATC Manufacturing, Lakeside Companies, Spokane International Airport, S3R3 Solutions, and Coeur d'Alene Area Economic Development Corporation. #Techhubs #TechHub #EDA #Aerospace #AerospaceConsortium #Composites #JECWorld

Our Tech Hub consortium has officially submitted the Phase 2 proposal to the U.S. Economic Development Administration, a game-changer for the U.S. aerospace supply chain. This effort will empower American suppliers to lead in the global market, thanks to our state-of-the-art Testbed and Training Center while building workforce and economic opportunity in the Inland Northwest. A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved for their commitment and hard work! #LeadingAerospace #SustainableInnovation #TechHubs #EDA #AAMMC #Aerospace #Boeing #AerospaceManufacturing #inlandnorthwest #Spokane #coeurdalene #Postfalls #Spokanevalley #airwayheights #composites #advancedcomposites #thermploasticcomposites
