Nearly three years ago, we had a dream. Today, we have progress. Thanks to 
The Blueprint for Manufacturing in Northeast Ohio, and the commitment 
of hundreds of CEOs, companies, and community supporters, we’ve created 
thousands of advanced manufacturing jobs. We’ve laid the groundwork for a 
vibrant innovation ecosystem. We’ve rapidly expanded the region’s Industry 
4.0 capabilities. And we’ve inspired bold leadership and radical collaboration.

How do these achievements stack up against the roadmap that was launched in 2021 for Northeast Ohio to become a global leader in smart manufacturing? The 2024 Progress Report offers an update on where we stand and where we go from here.
