The Scale-up Gap or Missing Middle
Common terms The “valley of death” The “missing Bell Labs” The “industrial commons” Basic R&D Commercialization Andy Grove ex INTEL Chief says that we do a great job in R&D and prototypes; but we are not doing so well in the scale-up needed for commercialization. Startups are a wonderful thing, but they cannot by themselves increase tech employment. Equally important is what comes after that mythical moment of creation in the garage, as technology goes from prototype to mass production. This is the phase where companies scale up. They work out design details, figure out how to make things affordably, build factories, and hire people by the thousands. Scaling is hard work but necessary to make innovation matter. The scaling process is no longer happening in the U.S. And as long as that's the case, plowing capital into young companies that build their factories elsewhere will continue to yield a bad return in terms of American jobs. What are other countries doing to address this missing scale up.

National Network for Manufacturing Innovation
“Sparking this network of innovation across the country, it will create jobs and will keep America leading in manufacturing…" President Obama, March 9, 2012 The President’s Budget proposes a $1 billion investment to create this new National Network for Manufacturing Innovation, creating up to 15 manufacturing institutes for Industry We Can’t Wait: Pilot Institute – on Additive Manufacturing

Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute Youngstown Ohio
Prime Awardee: National Center for Defense Manufacturing and Machining Initial $30M federal investment matched by $40M industry, state/local Strong leveraging of equipment, existing resources Strong business development Ties to many organic facilities Tiered membership-based model, low cost to small business and nonprofits Director of the National Economic Council Gene B. Sperling, Acting Secretary of Commerce Rebecca M. Blank and Under Secretary of Defense Frank Kendall along with Brett B. Lambert, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Manufacturing & Industrial Base Policy, Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown, Congressman Tim Ryan and DOE’s David Danielson, Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Dr. Blanc said, “We’re not interested in building your grandfather’s research institute. The approaches that worked for us in the 20th century aren’t good enough anymore. Instead, we need to build a 21st century model that reflects a strategic, global approach to competitiveness and innovation. This model has to be based on close partnerships between the academic and business world, with support from government as well. This type of collaboration is absolutely essential to ensure that Made in America remains a strong slogan well into the future.” Secretary Kendall commented, “It’s no mystery why Additive manufacturing was chosen as the institute’s focus-area. It’s simply revolutionary. But it is simply not enough to develop revolutionary technology. We need to find a way to insert it into our supply chains. But that is full of challenges. The key is to find a prime contractor-- a Lockheed, Northrop, Honeywell, Boeing– to decide to use additive manufacturing on their production floor or in their supply base. So how can we ensure Primes adopt these advances into their production? How can we ensure innovative small businesses can gain access to expensive capital equipment and collaborate with national experts in this field? And how can we build a new generation of experts in this exciting craft? We may need to look no further than partnerships like the one we celebrate today.”

Designing, Building and Growing the NNMI 4) New Manufacturing Innovation Institutes

NNMI Vision – 45 institutes
“In my State of the Union Address, I also asked Congress to build on a successful pilot program and create 15 manufacturing innovation institutes that connect businesses, universities, and federal agencies to turn communities left behind by global competition into global centers of high-tech jobs. “Today, I’m asking Congress to build on the bipartisan support for this idea and triple that number to 45 – creating a network of these hubs and guaranteeing that the next revolution in manufacturing is Made in America.” July 30, 2013 AP Photo/Susan Walsh With Congressional Legislation Open competition on ANY topic proposed by Industry and Academia Selection of topics made on merit let best proposals of greatest impact to US industry move ahead Institutes by Administrative Action limited to topics Federal agencies need Creates capability for enough institutes to form a value-added network Provides stable funding and certainty for consortia – path to sustainability

Next Generation Power Electronics Manufacturing Innovation Institute
Lead: North Carolina State University ABB, Arkansas Power Electronics International, Avogy, Cree, Deere & Company, Delphi Automotive, Delta Products, DfR Solutions, GridBridge, Hesse Mechatronics,, II-VI, IQE, Monolith Semiconductor, RF Micro Devices, Toshiba International, Transphorm, United Silicon Carbide, Vacon, Arizona State University, Florida State University, University of California-Santa Barbara, Virginia Tech, National Renewable Energy Lab, Naval Research Lab Mission: Develop advanced manufacturing processes that will enable large-scale production of wide bandgap semiconductors, which allow power electronics components to be smaller, faster and more efficient than silicon. FIRST BULLET: Better power electronics components compared to silicon (Si)-based ones. SECOND BULLET: This leads to dramatic energy savings in industrial processing and consumer appliances, accelerated widespread use of electric vehicles and fuel cells, and help to integrate renewable energy onto the electric grid THIRD BULLET: Manufacturing processes needed to achieve the energy-saving potential of WBG semiconductors Poised to revolutionize the energy efficiency of power control and conversion President Obama North Carolina State University, January 15, 2014

Designing, Building and Growing the NNMI 2014 Actions

State of the Union Announcement
2014 Institutes We also have the chance, right now, to beat other countries in the race for the next wave of high-tech manufacturing jobs. My administration has launched two hubs for high-tech manufacturing in Raleigh and Youngstown, where we’ve connected businesses to research universities that can help America lead the world in advanced technologies. Tonight, I’m announcing we’ll launch six more this year. Bipartisan bills in both houses could double the number of these hubs and the jobs they create. So get those bills to my desk and put more Americans back to work. President Barack Obama January 28, 2014 Six full-scale manufacturing innovation institutes to be awarded in 2014

Lightweight and Modern Metals Manufacturing Innovation Institute
New structural alloys face tremendous barriers to application due to lack of design guides and certifications as well as cost and scale-up challenges. The goal is to develop an advanced lightweight-metal supplier base for the U.S. to compete in the global market. Enable DOD to realize significant fuel reduction, increased payloads, and greater speed and agility of manned, unmanned, and soldier systems as well as benefits for commercial applications and energy savings. DOD DOD pictures sent to Mark Bello (5/13/13) The only material specified by name in the DOD whitepaper is third generation steel. So figure seems ok to highlight various HSLA/AHSS. Quality may need to be improved but Steve likely has a better version. The Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) is a good example of a DoD system that can benefit from the work of this Institute. JLTV is a family of more survivable, higher payload vehicles that are planned to succeed the High Mobility, Multi-Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV or Humvee). One variant of the JLTV has been eliminated because it was too heavy to meet the weight requirement of being transportable by Army and Marine Corps helicopters. NASA DOD

Digital Manufacturing and Design Innovation Institute
Provide the proving ground to link promising information technologies, tools, standards, models, sensors, controls, practices and skills , and then transition these capabilities to the industrial base for full-scale application. For example, proving and progressing intelligent electro-mechanical design and manufacturing capabilities from laboratory to prototype factory environments would improve production efficiencies and costs. Focus is the smart and comprehensive use of the ‘digital thread’ throughout design, production and support. Big Data Insight Group Apriso
