About the Manufacturing Accelerator
The Washington State Manufacturing Accelerator fosters connections between manufacturing leaders to drive growth and success. This no-cost economic development initiative gathers executives and owners three times annually to exchange ideas, access resources, and build partnerships. Members connect with their local communities, education institutions, government agencies, and one another to strengthen Washington's manufacturing sector. Through in-person summits and online tools, the Accelerator accelerates manufacturing in Washington State.
By facilitating collaboration, knowledge sharing, and resource accessibility, the Washington State Manufacturing Accelerator aims to bolster the competitiveness and prosperity of manufacturing statewide. Our goal is to empower manufacturers to grow through partnerships, insights, and support. This enables Washington's manufacturing industry to excel at regional, national, and global levels.

By bringing together Washington's manufacturing leaders both online and in-person, the Accelerator fosters innovation, partnerships, and advancement within this vital sector of the state's economy.
These meetings will serve as platforms for dialogue, knowledge sharing, and exploring solutions for challenges faced by manufacturing leaders.
The meetings will occur three times a year in the locations mentioned above. The meeting times, dates, places, and agendas will be available upon registration.
