The Small Business Conundrum

CAMT's G. 'Ravi' Ravishankar was invited to the recent MIT Manufacturing Summit 2011 to speak about "Innovation in Manufacturing: The Small Business Conundrum." The Summit focused on the essential components and growth opportunities for manufacturing and innovation to fuel U.S. economic growth.

 

Information gathered at the conference will inform the Advanced Manufacturing Partnership, a steering committee providing policy recommendations to the President.

 

Small businesses, in particular, feel they must innovate new products to grow, but can be handicapped by little access to capital, lack of robust in-house expertise, and commercialization barriers. Although product innovation is important for the U.S. economy, discussions at the Summit highlighted the need for greater innovation within manufacturing processes, not solely for products themselves.
