About NY MEP
FuzeHub is part of the New York Manufacturing Extension Partnership (NY MEP), a network of organizations that provide growth and innovation services to small and mid-sized manufacturers across the state.
The 11 nonprofit organizations that comprise the New York MEP assist companies all over New York, providing affordable services in the areas of technology acceleration, product development and prototyping, process improvements, innovation strategies, quality control, manufacturing scale-up, supply chain assistance, and new market strategies.
NY MEP says it annually helps nearly 1,000 manufacturers “create and retain jobs, increase profits, and save time and money, by providing affordable services ranging from technology acceleration to product development to manufacturing scale-up.”
NY MEP is supported by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and Empire State Development’s Division of Science, Technology & Innovation (NYSTAR).
“Utilizing the expertise and long-standing manufacturing networks of the NY MEP system, we can collectively address the [U.S.] Department of Energy’s goal of helping energy-technology innovators close the manufacturing-readiness gap,” Matt Watson, NYSTAR director, said in the FuzeHub release.
To provide the Build4Scale training to clean-tech hardware startups and “ensure that they receive support on their pathway to domestic manufacturing,” FuzeHub is working with its regional NY MEP counterparts, including the Alliance for Manufacturing & Technology, based at 5 South College Drive on the SUNY Broome campus in the town of Dickinson.
Additionally, FuzeHub “frequently” partners with business incubators across New York. It’ll be collaborating with the Southern Tier Clean Energy Incubator, located at 12 Hawley St. in Binghamton, to identify young companies that can “benefit most from the training.”
