Returned to my old office (@UILABS_) to celebrate new federal funding for advanced manufacturing research. Excited to bring innovation opportunities to #MI11.
The Department of Defense yesterday announced it would invest up to $60M – $10M this year & at least $20M more over the next 5yrs – in @DMDII@MFGUSA Institute to promote research and development of advanced digital manufacturing technologies in the U.S. #mfg
The future of #manufacturing is being driven out of @DMDII_, which was awarded $10 million in federal funding from @DeptofDefense | @UILABS_ https://t.co/BFJ1aLs2Cy #5YearsDMDII
Congrats to the entire team at @UILABS_ and @DMDII_ for marking their five-year anniversary with this exciting announcement! The partnership between @DMDII and @DeptofDefense is growing Illinois' role as an advanced manufacturing leader! https://t.co/geK0kj6Rcd via @crainschicago
Proud to celebrate the 5-year anniversary of @DMDII and announce continued funding for both @UILABS_ and @DMDII_ alongside @SenatorDurbin, @GovPritzker and @RepHaleyStevens today. As a Veteran, I'm especially thankful DMDII is working to support our servicemembers.
Congratulations to #mHUB partner @DMDII_ for securing $10M in federal funding from @DeptofDefense, and an additional $20M to $50M over the next five years. @DMDII_ continues to make strides in developing #manufacturing solutions for the future.
5 years ago, I was proud to join leaders across Illinois and the country to launch @DMDII_. Today I am proud to congratulate the Digital Manufacturing & Design Innovation Institute on 5 years of success & look forward to many more years of your leadership in Chicago. #5YearsDMDII
Partnerships like those created here at @DMDII_ are crucial to building a 21st century economy and creating good-paying jobs. It was exciting to celebrate #5YearsDMDII today, and as governor, I will make sure Illinois stands for innovation in every part of our state.
So inspired to be with these incredible women in #STEM and #manufacturing at @DMDII_ today - a shared effort to close the gender and skills gaps and bring new faces and voices to the industry! @UILABS_ Look closely for my @MillionWMentors Illinois State Chair lapel pin!
