When a foreign company wants to manufacture goods in the U.S., it needs new domestic suppliers for just about everything. When such an initiative involves new technology, it creates even more opportunities for a regional ecosystem and associated supply chains. Topsoe is a Danish energy company that is slated to build a $400 million Electrolyzer facility in Chesterfield, Virginia. Their technology utilizes renewable electricity from sources like solar and wind power to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. This investment in American manufacturing coincided with the June 2023 launch of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) National Network’s Supply Chain Optimization and Intelligence Network (SCOIN). Through this groundbreaking initiative, MEP Centers are expanding the Network’s scope from working primarily with individual companies to include a more comprehensive approach to manufacturing supply chains. Many supplier scouting requests are for specific components or are limited in scope. But the Topsoe initiative is so large that it has turned out to be an ideal scenario for implementing SCOIN at scale.

Next year marks 50 years of the NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration’s P3 Hurricane Hunter plane flying into storms all over the world. It’s a hurricane research lab in the skies that has flown into dozens of storms since being introduced in the 1970s. It’s got lots of bells and whistles—all of which serve the purpose of improving hurricane forecasting. https://lnkd.in/eMAcrJAN
