Each Manufacturing USA institute has created a comprehensive roadmap or provided strategic guidance for its specific technological focus. These roadmaps provide actionable plans to guide manufacturers in unifying data-driven, digitized processes and integrating emerging technologies into their operations. By convening industry, academia, and government stakeholders to plan the future of manufacturing, the institutes' roadmaps are helping align research and development efforts, guide investments, and accelerate the transition of innovative technologies from lab to market.
Revitalizing America’s Manufacturing Workforce
The Manufacturing USA network of institutes and agency partners developed a national education and workforce development roadmap. The initiative brings together the public and private sectors to create opportunities for existing and prospective workers to find their pathways into the advanced manufacturing workforce and prepare themselves for the technical, high-quality jobs being created in advanced manufacturing.

Empowering Small Manufacturers with Smart Manufacturing
CESMII, the Smart Manufacturing Institute, created a comprehensive set of resources to help small and medium-sized manufacturers adopt smart manufacturing technologies and processes. The institute led efforts to standardize interoperability and data modeling, developing the Smart Manufacturing Inoperability Platform and establishing six regional Smart Manufacturing Innovation Centers as technology demonstration and workforce training centers. CESMII also introduced the Smart Manufacturing Acceleration Roadmap Framework, providing a blueprint and tools for organizations on their smart manufacturing journey, and formed the Smart Manufacturing Executive Council to offer strategic industry guidance.
