Innovation
Hundreds of resources are available to assist Great Lakes Manufacturers with both process and product innovation. Check out the Manufacturing Assistance Program Directory on the Database tab. The Council is committed to marshaling the resources available throughout the region to help small and mid-size companies compete in regional and global supply chains. Additional data points will include access to the research universities throughout the region and search services for solving specific problems. These efforts will also enable the Council to invite the organizations to come together to learn from one another how to best serve their manufacturing clients.
