Regional manufacturing technology development for the small manufacturer. CRADA final report
The purpose of this CRADA was to provide a mechanism whereby private sector companies within the State of Florida could access the vast technological resources available at the Lockheed Martin Energy Systems, Inc. facilities in Oak Ridge, Tennessee and Largo, Florida. This assistance was focused on assisting companies within the region to become more globally competitive. The State of Florida Department of Commerce, Lockheed Martin Energy Systems, Inc. (LMES) Specialty Components and LMES Oak Ridge, provided companies with up to four days of technical assistance at no charge. As a result of those interactions, there has been an economic impact of $13.7 million dollars reported, and 138 jobs retained or created over the life of the CRADA. Although this has not been the most successful of all the technical assistance CRADAs, it has proven, because of the number of assistances, to be very successful.
