Building The Future
July 16, 2014
Philadelphia
Earlier this year, The Atlantic launched a series of conversations across the country on how we can “build the future” – of manufacturing, of biotechnology, and of energy.
On July 16, we built upon this ongoing series by traveling to Philadelphia, PA. We explored what industry and academia are doing to equip the workforce with the skills needed to succeed in this new era and how local leaders are strengthening the resurgence of the manufacturing sector.
