Online Manufacturing Discussion Forum Available at the Great Plains TMC

The Great Plains Technology and Manufacturing Cluster Initiative has launched an online discussion forum to further support manufacturers and technology entrepreneurs in the Great Plains region.  The Initiative is hosted by the K-State Technology Development Institute, and is sponsored by the U.S. Small Business Administration's Regional Innovation Cluster program.  Since 2019, the Great Plains Technology and Manufacturing Cluster has served as a community and networking hub for manufacturers to drive innovation, be successful and solve challenges.

Courtney Swanson, Outreach Coordinator, says the Great Plains Technology and Manufacturing Cluster provides manufacturers and companies with the critical resources needed to drive innovation and be successful throughout the state of Kansas.

As a regional manufacturing resource, the Great Plains Technology and Manufacturing Cluster frequently meets with manufacturers to understand their needs, challenges and capabilities.  Through these conversations, Swanson says their team recognized a need to develop a way for manufacturers, businesses, entrepreneurs, and resource partners to gather for discussions, share information and ask questions about manufacturing issues, and look for partnership opportunities.

The discussion forum is available at no cost to all users, whether they are Great Plains Technology and Manufacturing Community members or not.

The Great Plains Technology and Manufacturing Cluster invites you to visit its website at greatplainstmc.org to join the community, and at greatplainstmc.org/forum to introduce yourself and participate in the discussion forum.
