Manufacturing Events, Funding & Resources for May

Manufacturing Events, Funding & Resources for May

May 5, 2021 3:21 pm

Good Morning Oregon Manufacturers & Friends!

I hope you’re all doing wonderful. I for one am really enjoying the Spring weather. My gardening skills could use some improvement – namely, read the planting instructions. I never do that.

Below are resources: Virtual Events; Funding for Manufacturers; and Manufacturing News. I hope the information is useful to you or someone you know.  Feel free to contact me with questions or assistance!

Virtual Events:

  1. May 4th – Controlling Human Error on the Manufacturing Floor
  2. May 4th – The Changing Role of CFOs in the Manufacturing Sector
  3. May 6th – OMEP. Compliance Changes for Government Contractors
  4. May 12 – Effective Digital Marketing for C-Level Executives in Manufacturing
  5. May 12th – Women Manufacturing Network. Salary Negotiations: Tips and Tricks
  6. May 13th – PNDC. SUPPLY CHAIN OPPORTUNITIES CONFERENCE from PNDC
  7. May 13 – Developing your workforce’s Engineering, Design and Manufacturing skills
  8. May 19th – #BI21.3 Engineering & Manufacturing Forum
  9. Multiple Dates – Managing Performance 1 Day Virtual Live Training in Portland, OR

Funding for Manufacturers:

Oregon Business Development Fund – The Oregon Business Development Fund (OBDF) is a revolving loan fund that provides term fixed-rate financing for land, buildings, equipment, machinery and permanent working capital. Participants must create or retain jobs and must typically be a traded-sector business in manufacturing, processing or distribution. The program gives preference to projects located in rural and distressed areas and to small businesses with fewer than 100 employees.

Manufacturing USA Funding Opportunities

E3: Economy, Energy, Environment. This is an EPA incentive program to help manufacturers pursue capital and support for sustainable practices and equipment. The short of it is a local team (OMEP and OSU, for example) will review your facility and practices to make recommendations and connect companies to financial resources. If this interests you, please contact aimee@metafab.com. We are working to revive this program with collaborating partners.

Oregon Business Incentives, Credits and Funding

Manufacturing News:

With that, please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have questions about sustainability programs or Meta Fab’s precision sheet metal/metal fabrication services and as always, please have a lovely rest of your May!

Cheers,

Aimee
