The K-State Technology Development Institute (TDI) was awarded a $2 million grant through the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration (EDA) to deploy the KSU Digital Manufacturing Technology Program (DMTP). The purpose of the DMTP is to launch services and programs that will assist manufacturers with evaluating and implementing existing/new digital technologies to shorten supply chains, increase productivity of available labor, and increase responsiveness and agility to demand as a result of the pandemic.

The Great Plains TMC will serve as informational hub that will link and leverage the state's small advanced manufacturing companies, services providers, digital manufacturing expertise, university engineering programs, and technical college advanced manufacturing programs.
