This presentation will explore emerging opportunities across advanced manufacturing, energy systems, critical materials, and the industrial bioeconomy, and highlight how initiatives such as the Midwest Industrial Transformation Initiative (MITI), a newly formed partnership with the National Laboratory of the Rockies, and a statewide Industrial Transformation Roadmap are helping connect research, industry, communities, Tribal Nations, and public partners around a shared vision for long-term economic competitiveness.
