Five examples to revitalize manufacturing ecosystems
SOURCE: “5 things the U.S. could do to revitalize manufacturing”, WSJ, June 6 2014; McKinsey Global Institute
Productivity and Innovation Credit provides tax credits or payouts
for investments in IP, automation and IT, R&D, workforce training
Follow Singapore’s lead
Link up SMEs with large firms and education providers to support
workforce development, especially where firms don’t have scale
Model Germany’s business links
Help firms attract FDI, esp. from emerging economies looking to
invest but that need help navigating the manufacturing landscape
Tap new investors from China
Support direct exports through online platforms, aggregation, and
assistance with supply logistics, customs and market rules, etc.
Consider the eBay and Alibaba model
Create “technology access centers” to allow access to advanced
technology platforms for R&D, prototyping and even basic learning
Adopt Canada’s technology approach
