During the White House Task Force on Middle Class Families meeting on June 23, 2009, in Perrysburg, OH, the Department of Commerce announced the expansion of the National Innovation Marketplace. This program will help revitalize supply chains by providing manufacturers with the tools they need to transition from contracting sectors to emerging technologies and new market opportunities.
