About the AMC:

On November 28, 2011, Governor Patrick announced the launch of the Massachusetts Advanced Manufacturing Collaborative (AMC) – a group comprised of leaders from industry, academia and government that has come together to enhance the competitiveness of Massachusetts manufacturing and lead the national effort to revitalize this country as a place that makes things.  The AMC  is working to execute a five-point agenda that reflects a year-long dialogue with the state’s business and academic leaders through Governor Patrick’s Advanced Manufacturing Initiative steering committee, originally convened in May 2010.  The agenda reflects the steering committee’s thoughts on promoting manufacturing, workforce development, technical assistance and innovation, the cost of doing business, and access to capital.

The work of the AMC aligns Massachusetts with President Obama’s Advanced Manufacturing Partnership and seven other states through the National Governors Association Center of Best Practices Policy Academy on Advanced Manufacturing and Innovation.

Organization:

The AMC is governed by a 16-member Executive Committee. Five working groups (one for each of the agenda items in the roadmap document) are responsible determining near- and long-term actionable items to be carried out.
