National Innovation Marketplace
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.
"American manufacturers have sophisticated technologies and systems and some of the most skilled workforces in the entire world," said Secretary Locke. "By expanding the National Innovation Marketplace, the Commerce Department is bringing together in one place the ideas, products and future opportunities businesses need to identify new markets, diversify and create new jobs."
