美國(guó)奧巴馬政府的振興制造業(yè)行動(dòng)聯(lián)盟日前宣布，將試圖藉由連結(jié)經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展與先進(jìn)的制造業(yè)資產(chǎn)，繁榮美國(guó)各地的產(chǎn)業(yè)聚落。預(yù)計(jì)在該項(xiàng)投資額達(dá)2,600萬(wàn)美元的“先進(jìn)制造業(yè)職缺與創(chuàng)新加速器挑戰(zhàn)(Advanced Manufacturing Jobs and Innovation Accelerator Challenge)”行動(dòng)中，將會(huì)選出12個(gè)制造產(chǎn)業(yè)聚落振興計(jì)劃。 在此同時(shí)，同樣為振興美國(guó)制造業(yè)與科技創(chuàng)新；美國(guó)政府也強(qiáng)調(diào)將以跨部會(huì)的行動(dòng)促進(jìn)官方與私人的合作案，以拉抬聯(lián)邦投資案的報(bào)酬率。上述公告征求可藉由連結(jié)地方性經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展機(jī)會(huì)與先進(jìn)制造業(yè)資產(chǎn)來(lái)協(xié)助振興區(qū)域產(chǎn)業(yè)聚落的提案，并因此創(chuàng)造高品質(zhì)的永續(xù)性就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)，發(fā)展具專業(yè)能力與差異性的先進(jìn)制造業(yè)人力，提高出口率；此外也鼓勵(lì)中小型企業(yè)發(fā)展、加速科技創(chuàng)新。 以上的制造業(yè)振興行動(dòng)是美國(guó)政府一項(xiàng)大規(guī)模計(jì)劃的一部分，旨在推動(dòng)先進(jìn)的生產(chǎn)行業(yè)，以創(chuàng)造就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)、讓美國(guó)能在新興的高附加價(jià)值制造業(yè)領(lǐng)域中取得競(jìng)爭(zhēng)優(yōu)勢(shì)。舉例來(lái)說(shuō)，美國(guó)國(guó)家科學(xué)基金會(huì)(NSF) 也是該計(jì)畫(huà)的贊助單位之一，該基金會(huì)準(zhǔn)備在其Innovation Corps項(xiàng)目下，選出一些新創(chuàng)公司開(kāi)發(fā)新科技產(chǎn)品。除了NSF，還有其它政府機(jī)關(guān)負(fù)責(zé)相關(guān)項(xiàng)目，例如隸屬美國(guó)商務(wù)部的國(guó)家標(biāo)準(zhǔn)與科技研究所 (National Institute Standards and Technology)、以及能源部旗下的制造業(yè)辦公室。 編譯：Judith Cheng 本文授權(quán)編譯自EE Times，版權(quán)所有，謝絕轉(zhuǎn)載 本文下一頁(yè)：參考英文原文：U.S. manufacturing effort targets regional clusters，by George Leopold

{pagination} U.S. manufacturing effort targets regional clusters George Leopold WASHINGTON – An Obama administration manufacturing initiative announced Tuesday (May 29) will seek to boost regional industry clusters by connecting economic development efforts with advanced manufacturing assets. Twelve manufacturing clusters projects are expected to be selected under the $26 million Advanced Manufacturing Jobs and Innovation Accelerator Challenge. As with similar efforts to promote manufacturing and technology innovation, the White House stressed the multi-agency initiative will seek to forge public-private partnerships as a way to boost the return on federal investments. “Applicants are encouraged to submit proposals that will help grow a region's industry clusters by strengthening connections to regional economic development opportunities and advanced manufacturing assets; enhance a region's capacity to create high-quality sustainable jobs; develop a skilled and diverse advanced manufacturing workforce; increase exports; encourage the development of small businesses; and accelerate technological innovation,” the announcement said. The manufacturing initiative is part of a broad-based government effort to kick start advanced production that would create jobs and help the U.S. compete in emerging value-added manufacturing sectors. For example, the National Science Foundation (NSF), one of the manufacturing program sponsors, is preparing to select of group of startups to develop new technology products under its Innovation Corps program. Along with NSF, other agencies administering the new program include the Commerce Department’s National Institute Standards and Technology and the Energy Department’s manufacturing office. The application deadline for the program is July 9. Details on how to submit an application for advanced manufacturing grants are available at the manufacturing.gov Web site.
