AFFOA is working to enable a manufacturing-based revolution by transforming traditional fibers, yarns, and fabrics into highly sophisticated, integrated and networked devices and systems.

AIM Photonics is enabling advanced manufacturing through the development of integrated photonics, such as multi-project wafer (MPW), process design kit (PDK), test, assembly, and packing with on-ramp capabilities to accelerate prototyping to commercialization.

The ARM Institute’s mission is to create and then deploy robotic technology by integrating the diverse collection of industry practices and institutional knowledge across many disciplines – sensor technologies, end-effector development, software and artificial intelligence, materials science, human and machine behavior modeling, and quality assurance – to realize the promises of a robust manufacturing innovation ecosystem.

BioMADE is working to build a sustainable, domestic end-to-end bioindustrial manufacturing ecosystem that will enable domestic bioindustrial manufacturing at all scales, develop technologies to enhance U.S. bioindustrial competitiveness, de-risk investment in relevant infrastructure, and expand the biomanufacturing workforce to realize the economic promise of industrial biotechnology.

Founded in 2016, in partnership with the Department of Energy's Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation, CESMII is the third institute funded by Energy's Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office. The Institute is accelerating Smart Manufacturing adoption through the integration of advanced sensors, data (ingestion – contextualization – modeling – analytics), platforms and controls to radically impact manufacturing performance, through measurable improvements in areas

NextFlex takes key steps toward furthering U.S. development and adoption of the flexible hybrid electronics that will revolutionize the way we live, work and play.
