The American Aerospace Materials Manufacturing Center located in Spokane has been designated one the 31 inaugural Tech Hubs across the nation by the Biden Administration through the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration.
The Tech Hubs Program aims to strengthen U.S. economic and national security by investing in regions across the country with assets and resources with the potential to become globally competitive in the technologies and industries of the future—and for those industries, companies, and the good jobs they create, to start, grow, and remain in the United States.
The American Aerospace Materials Manufacturing Center will build on Washington’s longstanding history of innovation and leadership in the aerospace industry.
The consortium, led by Gonzaga University, will work to meet the growing demand for lightweight composite materials made in America at large scale, enabling the next generation of sustainable commercial and military aircraft while reducing reliance on foreign suppliers.
