Leverage the NCMS Network The value of collaboration
NCMS is a manufacturing technology collaboration catalyst that creates professional relationships and business opportunities, drives research and development, and leverages industry intelligence for technical solutions. We are an established non-profit dedicated to working with world-class organizations who want to innovate and develop game-changing technologies with reduced risk and maximum efficiency. NCMS is unique as a national network with the primary goal of fostering innovation through collaboration, leveraging cross-industry expertise to create success.
Membership is one way to contribute to NCMS’ mission to build and strengthen U.S. manufacturing. In 2018, NCMS will aggressively grow its business, expand its network, identify promising new technologies, and position U.S. companies to solve future technical problems. We target companies that are hungry to become part of a network committed to turning great, unrealized ideas into tomorrow’s indispensable systems and solutions. Because we understand that innovative organizations take on many forms and can be found in any sector, we welcome the opportunity to work with all parties committed to advancing manufacturing, creating innovations, and contributing to building and sustaining America’s industrial supply chain.
Through NCMS, companies of all sizes overcome challenges and complete projects of a scale that one company alone could not tackle. Using a variety of contract vehicles, we collaborate with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) searching for smaller companies whose revolutionary technologies have not yet been commercialized, small and medium-sized companies searching for partners to help fully realize their market potential, colleges and universities looking to commercialize their technologies, and a variety of federal agencies, labs, and private partners interested in funding technology development. Because our value lies in the strength of our network, membership is a key contributor to our success—in NCMS, companies find a trusting environment for competitors to come together as partners, work collaboratively, protect their intellectual property, and deliver quality products to key customers.
Pulling together strategic partners and members to drive technology innovation through collaborative development is at the heart of what NCMS does every day. Leveraging the resources of all partners, NCMS helps bridge the “valley-of-death” innovation gap with technology and training, thus accelerating the pace of innovation and commercial integration.
