NY Manufacturing Extension Partnership Overview – Technology Resources and Grants for Manufacturers


Category
Specialty Programs • Technology

FuzeHub, the statewide NY Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) center, is a non-profit that supports New York State manufacturers and technology companies through technology matching, funding programs, and marketing services. We assist companies at any stage of maturity, from start-ups to 500 employee organizations, in various industries (hard goods, bio-tech, cleantech, electronics, textiles, food and beverage, chemicals, medical devices, etc.). The workshop will cover in-depth details about our grant program, and examples of how we have helped companies with their proof of concept, prototype development, design for manufacturing, commercialization, scale up and beyond.
