Our Work
As Support Partners, we actively align with the industry-driven agenda. The industry’s in-person quarterly meetings provide a dedicated space for leaders to reflect on the region’s most significant opportunities and strategize on how to capitalize on them. With the industry setting the agenda, our collective group of cross-organizational partners is uniquely positioned to respond to the evolving priorities set by industry leaders. Our own quarterly in-person gatherings foster a collaborative environment, enabling us to collectively determine how to integrate, synergize, and share resources to address the critical needs of our region’s key economic drivers.
MANUFACTURING
The Upstate Manufacturing Network (UMN) is a self-convened network of manufacturing industry leaders in Upstate South Carolina who aim to shape the future of manufacturing in the Upstate. With the support of our public partners, including workforce development, education, economic development, and our K-12 system, we aim to drive positive change and advance manufacturing towards a brighter future for our economy and community. We work collectively to harness the opportunities of the Upstate region and solve issues that not one of us alone could tackle.
LOGISITICS
Logistics is a pivotal industry fueling economic growth in Upstate South Carolina. We are excited to collaborate with our Logistics Industry Leaders to establish a Sector Partnership that will enhance and support their influence in the region.
