Partnering to Promote Manufacturing
Advanced Manufacturing Collaborative (AMC)
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts established the AMC to partner with public and private stakeholders to develop and implement the Commonwealth's manufacturing plan, fostering and strengthening the conditions necessary for growth and innovation in Massachusetts manufacturing. The AMC works closely with the Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development (EOHED) as the Commonwealth's leadership group for convening industry, academia, and policymakers to promote manufacturing and engage stakeholders on challenges and opportunities facing the industry.
