CESMII Launches
In partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy, the Clean Energy Smart Manufacturing Innovation Institute (CESMII) brings over $140 million in public-private investment to radically improve the precision, performance and efficiency of U.S. advanced manufacturing. CESMII is the 9th Institute of the Manufacturing USA, established by the White House to spur U.S. innovation, sustainability and competitiveness.
Making a National Impact
Spotlight
The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) has been a very strong proponent of Smart Manufacturing and CESMII. They recently announced a funding opportunity for sensors needed for the steel-making process that is well aligned with CESMII goals.

CESMII Kick-off Event
Feb. 22-23
CESMII officially launched on December 20, 2016. The CESMII Kick-off brought together partners from our national network to learn about the Institute’s goals and the value of participating with CESMII. Executives from industry, academia, national labs, national associations and government agencies contributed to plan next steps in working together. Leaders from across the nation shared why Smart Manufacturing is critical to the future of manufacturing innovation, sustainability and growth.
Power of a National Network
CESMII is a national network of Regional Manufacturing Centers (RMCs) each focused on local relationships with opportunities for national impact in the areas of technology transfer and workforce development. The power of the network is cross-linking resources, capabilities and expertise across business, workforce and technical focus areas, leveraging each region’s unique industrial environments. The regions include the California, Gulfcoast, Southeast, Northeast, Midwest and Northwest. The headquarters is located in Los Angeles, CA.
“Smart Manufacturing will help companies transform the way we manufacture, innovate, compete and manage energy. These capabilities will lead to a revitalized workforce, improved economic development, energy sustainability and U.S. global competitiveness.”
