Manufacturing Council

Join us for the CLT Alliance Manufacturing Council Q2 Meeting on Monday, June 30th. 

The CLT Alliance will present findings from our 2026 Regional Manufacturers Benefits Survey, representing input from more than 100 manufacturers across the Charlotte Region. This data offers a powerful snapshot of our regional manufacturing landscape and the benefits and resources that matter most to our community. We'll walk through the findings together and discuss what they mean for the future of manufacturing in our region.

Following the presentation, join us for an inside look at how UNC Charlotte's students and faculty are driving the future of manufacturing through applied research and innovation at the UNC Charlotte William States Lee College of Engineering.  Attendees will have the opportunity to explore the Center for Precision Metrology, machine shop, and advanced manufacturing labs and discover how the university's engineering expertise and industry partnerships are shaping the next generation of technology and workforce development in the Charlotte Region. 

 An optional tour of the university's Industrial Solutions Lab/Senior Design Program and Super Fab Lab will be offered to attendees.
