These relationship-building programs will build demand and awareness of the importance of innovation, regional business development and supply chain relationships.
- Business development – efforts to match buyers and suppliers - local networking and business matchmaking designed to help companies meet requirements and contract with large Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and their major suppliers. Programs will include “Meet the Buyers” Conferences and hosted events including keynote speakers from national and locally headquartered companies (e.g. Boeing Commercial Aircraft, Costco, Esterline, Fluke, Nordstrom, and REI).
- Capital Formation Activities - The Center will also support its members' capital formation activities through assistance in developing grant applications, arranging bank financing and through participation in such vehicles as Washington State Business Development Company (BDC) investment structures.
- Innovation services – hosted events to stimulate the development and adoption of emerging technologies and practices. Examples include “Technology Days” to showcase commerce-ready licensing opportunities from research and development laboratories, including participation from the National Laboratories, Washington Technology Center and other prestigious research centers.
- Best practices in manufacturing, new product development and logistics – brokered professional consulting services offered through a network of independent experts carefully selected by the Center. There are a number of for-profit and not-for-profit consultant organizations in Puget Sound that can be represented (as their broker) to facilitate this offering. The Center may also call on professionals from other geographic areas if the required expertise is not available locally.
- Information clearinghouse – an on-line knowledgebase of best practices, technologies, relevant industry research, hiring and retention strategies, regulations, etc. One of the benefits of active participation will be access to a store of knowledge with content customized to the needs of local manufacturers. In addition to links to free information, the Center will offer expert research services on a fee basis and access to shared databases and periodicals.

- Aerospace and Defense
