The grants include $2 million from the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) and $2.5 million from private-sector, state, and institutional partners.<\/p>\n<p>The partners providing the $2.5 million in matching funds include Purdue University, General Electric, John Deere, Lockheed Martin, Procter &amp; Gamble, and the State of Ohio.<\/p>\n<p>EDA awarded the grant to the Council on Competitiveness &#8212; a group of CEOs, university presidents, and labor leaders advancing economic growth \u2013- to form the National Digital Engineering and Manufacturing Consortium. The Consortium will use the funding to develop software, purchase time on supercomputers, and train small- and medium-sized manufacturers in the use of this technology that can help the companies design their own advanced manufacturing processes and products.<\/p>\n<p>The initiative is expected to involve close collaboration with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers of these companies, to encourage the use of high-performance computing among both OEMs and their supply-chain partners in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan. The goal of the initiative is to foster collaboration between large manufacturing firms and their small- and medium-sized supply chain manufacturers to offer advanced manufacturing modeling and simulation resources to speed up the design cycle and provide realistic simulations of final products.<\/p>\n<p>Read more: <a href=\"http:\/\/sciencebusiness.technewslit.com\/?p=2864\">Report: Tech Industry Clusters Help Build Regional Economies<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Photo: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/kosheahan\/4009826118\/in\/photostream\/\">kosheahan\/Flickr<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new public-private partnership will deliver $4.5 million in grant funding to help small- and medium-sized manufacturers in the U.S. Midwest make better use of advanced digital technology.
