USA National Innovation Marketplace: Saving American Manufacturing through Innovation

摘要

Last April, The U.S. Department of Commerce's Manufacturing Extension Partnership-an organization that provides business and process improvement services to manufacturing customers-partnered with entrepreneur Doug Hall (see Doug Hall to Speak at PDx/amerimold Sidebar) to launch the USA National Innovation Marketplace (MM) in an effort to spur innovation in manufacturing, by helping connect companies looking for new methods and processes with inventors who have created the necessary technology. This service is hosted at Hall's Planet Eureka! Web site and aims to marry inventions and innovations with prospective buyers, notes Jon Paul Buchmeyer, a spokesperson for the National Innovation Marketplace. "Innovators are connected with sellers, buyers, investors, distributors and manufacturers in all industries," he explains.
