Starting Small with SMART MANUFACTURING

Overview

In spite of all the encouragement from the community for the past several months, and perhaps due to a short timeline, with the lack of Incumbent Reverse Pitcher sign-ups, we are pivoting from the ambitious Reverse Pitch event to a new, more traditional event.

In conjunction with National Manufacturing Month, the new objective is to bring the Smart Manufacturing & IoT community into proximity with Northeast Ohio manufacturers who have not yet begun to pursue Industry 4.0. Perhaps a collision of people and ideas might be just the needed catalyst for area manufacturers to take the leap into Smart Manufacturing.

80-100 Attendees, including: IoT Engineers, IoT Architects, Investors, Entrepreneurs, Teachers/Professors, Students, and Incumbent Manufacturers.
