Join the Youngstown Innovation Hub for Aerospace & Defense at this virtual session designed to familiarize small and medium-sized manufacturing start-ups and companies looking to relocate or establish operations in Northeast Ohio with Hub resources. This is your opportunity to engage with the Hub and its partners.
Director Megan Malara, Ph.D., will showcase the resources and services that can be provided to create pathways into aerospace and defense manufacturing and grow the advanced, resilient regional industrial base. Participants will learn practical steps to get started with the Hub, apply for support, and collaborate within the regional ecosystem.
Hub resources include:
- Facilities & Infrastructure (manufacturing space, office space, shared equipment use)
- Capital & Services (funding, engineering services)
- Programs & Support (training and mentorship, business development)
- Partnerships & Ecosystem (research collaborators, supply chain access)
- Workforce (talent recruitment and development)
The Hub equips manufacturers with the tools, talent, and networks to rapidly commercialize advanced technologies and sharpen their competitive edge – whether bringing innovations to market for the first time or scaling into Northeast Ohio. By catalyzing industry collaboration, this innovation proving ground is advancing Ohio’s leadership in aerospace and defense manufacturing.
