About This Event

Conducted in partnership with the Expanding Ohio Manufacturing Digitization Securely at Scale (EMDiS) Center for Excellence at Cleveland State University and co-sponsored by the US Economic Development Administration (EDA), Levin's Center for Economic Development is hosting a conversation on smart manufacturing in the state of Ohio.

Connecting Innovation, Policy, and Practice Ohio (CIPPO) will explore the current and future states of innovation, providing an outlet for the leading voices in practice and research across the state. CIPPO will highlight major federally funded innovation projects in Ohio, and the role of universities in spurring innovation. This year's conference focuses on smart manufacturing. We hope this event will spark discussions on Ohio's strengths in the field, initiate further research and open the opportunity to explore what more needs to be done to make Ohio a leader in smart manufacturing.
