Emerging small-scale manufacturers and the role they play in their local economies<\/em><\/p>\n A few years ago, The Urban Manufacturing Alliance<\/a> set out to get a better idea of what kind of new, small-scale innovations were being \u201clocally made\u201din six cities\u00a0(Baltimore, Cincinnati, Detroit, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and Portland, Ore.)\u00a0across the country. \u00a0A snapshot<\/a> of what they found out about Philadelphia\u2019s ecosystem was published in November 2017. \u00a0Recently, the Alliance released its National Report<\/a>, which offers a unique view of the new kinds of \u201cmaking-of-things\u201d going on across the country. \u00a0The goal was to increase the collective understanding of what the small-batch manufacturing sector looks like in cities, who its entrepreneurs and employees are, and what can be done to help these firms thrive and grow into larger employers that build wealth in their communities.<\/p>\n
