American Center for Manufacturing & Innovation (ACMI)

Had a fantastic time last night hosting hundreds of leaders from government, industry, and academia at our facility in Austin for a glimpse into the future of hardware and manufacturing technology during our Tech Showcase. A special thank you to the demonstrators for showcasing their cutting-edge technology: Divergent, Ursa Major, ICON, Snapdragon Cambrex, Supernova, Novium Ltd, and Venus Aerospace.

ACMI is pleased to announce our Technology Showcase, to be held the evening of December 4th.  In collaboration with NASA and DOD MCEIP, we will be hosting a series of live demonstrations from dual-use hardware companies. Companies will showcase their cutting-edge technologies and innovative solutions for the defense, space, and aerospace industries. In addition to live demos, the event will include guided programming and a networking reception. Heavy hors d'oeuvres and refreshments will be provided.  Doors will open at 5pm, with demonstration activities starting promptly at 6pm.

AVIO USA has selected ACMI Properties to design and plan its first solid rocket motor production facility in the United States to support the rapid increase in demand from the defense and aerospace industries. The facility will house production for multiple types of solid rocket motors with applications in national security, space exploration, and commercial aerospace. Locations for the several hundred-acre facility are being evaluated. Multiple states are currently under consideration. https://lnkd.in/gk8M8Sf6

Our founder and CEO, John Burer, had the honor of joining ACMI advisor Christine (Chris) Michienzi along with Christopher Zember, Philip Root and John Pinder at Wharton Aerospace Ventures to speak about the importance of scaling our industrial base and the critical role that partnerships between industry, government and academia play in accelerating the innovation that drives American economic prosperity and security.

ACMI CEO and Founder, John Burer, will be at Wharton Aerospace Ventures on October 17 to speak about the importance of scaling a modern industrial base to meet and master the challenges of today and tomorrow. https://lnkd.in/gaV92PW2

We have a message for hardware companies seeking to grow commercially with the United States Department of Defense: help is on the way. ACMI’s unique ecosystem facilitates commercial engagement with the federal government by reducing barriers to entry. By leveraging private capital at a 16-to-1 ratio, we capture commercial innovation for the United States Department of Defense — empowering companies to enter the defense market while ensuring the government gains superior value from new processes and technologies.
