6. Connecticut SBIR CENTER @ CCAT • Established July 2004 by CT Office for Workforce Competitiveness • Challenge: Reverse trend of CT Firms losing ground in $2B Small Business Innovation Research program: • down to < 1.5% from peak of 3.5% • Mission: Engage more firms and facilitate competitive proposals to increase rate of new technology and product development leading to commercialization & job creation • Context: Part of a larger OWC technology-based economic development strategy • Opportunities: Develop new products, processes and collaborations in Manufacturing(ref. President’s Exec Order)

7. Connecticut’s Emerging Industries(Photonics-Clean Energy-Biomedical) • Growth based on • Existing regional strengths • Emerging technologies • “Think Globally-Act Locally” • Regionally based innovation and enterprise • Capture value from global technology community • Enhance regional capability • Next Generation Manufacturing • Enhance enterprise creation • Strengthen education and work force capabilities (Ref. Battelle analysis of CT for CCAT-2002)

8. National Center for Aerospace Leadership (NCAL) • A Federally funded center focusing on Air Force issues and the supply chain for advanced power systems (Next Generation Manufacturing) • Establish in East Hartford, to lead the National Aerospace Leadership Initiative taking place in Connecticut, Ohio and Pennsylvania • Responds to global competitiveness and national energy/environmental concerns

9. The Aerospace Industry is replicating the Automotive Industry supply chain’s transition to increased value and opportunity

10. Precision Manufacturing BusinessesCT is 5th in the US in Aircraft and Parts Manufacturing Source: “The Medical Device Industry in Southern New England’s I-91 Corridor” – Beacon Alliance, page 70

11. Next Generation Manufacturing • Next Generation ManufacturingNSF-1997 • “manufacturing companies must transform themselves into agile enterprises that operate in extended supply chains” • Visionary Manufacturing Challenges for 2020 -National Research Council • “knowledge sharing, innovative technologies and attention to environmental issues” • Sustaining the Nation’s Innovation Ecosystems -President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology-Jan 2004 • “R&D and Manufacturing constitute the ecosystem’s primary pillars”

12. www.NextGenerationManufacturing.org“a Basis for Knowledge Led economic growth” “the processes and entities required to create, develop, support and deliver products” “Visionary Manufacturing Challenges for 2020”- National Research Council, 1998 • Manufacturing is • A global enterprise • A focus for innovation -the intersection of new processes / technologies and enterprises • Integral to the design/product realization process • A path to value creation for new technologies-(nano / bio / IT) • Key to national defense initiatives • Is not • Defined by existent, local capabilities • Just “make to print” • Just to “save jobs”

13. Laser Based Machining for Aerospace and Medical(CCAT Laser Applications Lab)

14. Lockheed Martin Lockheed Martin JSF Program Focuses on Maintainability with DELMIA Solutions “The timing, flexibility and affordability of simulations gave us a significant amount of influence over the air-system design. The designers are willing, and even eager, to address these concerns while their work is still in its preliminary stages… DELMIA's most important contribution is to make maintainability assessable in the beginning of a design effort, where the payoff is significantly better.” Michael T. Golas, Manager, Lockheed Martin Maintainer–In–Loop Program

15. Modeling and Simulation of Machining(predict, optimize and improve operations)

16. Careers via Next Generation Manufacturing • Basis for success in NGM is foundational for multiple career paths • Personal effectiveness • Familiarity with various technologies • Continuous learning and “degree” options • Early opportunities for financial reward • Opportunities to create your own enterprise Note: Increases in productivity will reduce number of “hands on” jobs and emphasize knowledge

17. CCAT/CT Community College Based Initiatives • Align with Presidential focus on community colleges • Provide knowledge based “portal to career paths” for all levels of maturity and achievement • Proposals to the National Science Foundation created by CCAT with CT Community Colleges: • Regional Center for Next Generation Manufacturing- develop curriculum and delivery-awarded • Partnership for Innovation- focus on intellectual property creation and “workforce of innovators” – not awarded
