    Summary

    This program seeks to establish new and strengthen existing industry-driven consortia that identify and support basic and applied research on long term, pre-competitive and enabling technology development for advanced manufacturing. AMTech consortia will:
    • Address major technological barriers that inhibit the growth of advanced manufacturing in the U.S.;
    • Identify and prioritize research projects supporting long term industrial research needs;
    • Engage in eligible activities including but not limited to creating new or updating broadly available industry-driven, shared-vision technology road maps; and
    • Catalyze the development of a technology infrastructure and American excellence in advanced manufacturing.

    Thus, over time the AMTech Program will:
    • Increase the number of industry sectors and organizations that participate in technology partnerships across geographic regions and company size;
    • Identify critical pre-competitive, enabling manufacturing processes and platform technologies with potential transformational impact, and create pathways to translate these advancements into commercial reality by U.S. manufacturers;
    • Unlock capital and spur industry-driven research that arises from the partnerships and road maps that are created;
    • Spur more efficient technology transfer, diffusion and knowledge dissemination among the partnerships forged from AMTech and across U.S. advanced manufacturing supply chains; and
    • Strengthen the capacity of new small and medium-sized companies to become successful enterprises.

    Additional Information

    In 2013, NIST launched the AMTech Program to establish new and strengthen existing industry-driven consortia to identify and prioritize research projects supporting long term industrial research needs. The AMTech Program provides funding to industry-driven consortia that develop advanced technologies to address major technological and related barriers that inhibit the growth of advanced manufacturing in the U.S. and the global competitiveness of U.S. companies.
