We're proud to join University of Missouri-Kansas City and hundreds of partners in celebrating the NSF's investment in the Critical Materials Crossroads Engine. This initiative positions Greater Kansas City as a national hub for critical minerals and materials innovation while helping strengthen domestic supply chains, accelerate advanced manufacturing and create lasting economic opportunity. We're excited to help UMKC build the infrastructure that will strengthen domestic manufacturing, create jobs and support long-term economic growth.
The Bay Area has Silicon Valley and Austin has the Silicon Hills. Kansas City: you now have the NSF Critical Materials Crossroads Engine in the Greater Kansas City Region! The UMKC-led Critical Materials Crossroads Engine is a U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Regional Innovation Engines awardee. This transformational investment of up to $160 million over 10 years positions UMKC and Kansas City at the forefront of building a secure, resilient U.S. critical materials supply chain. As the organizing institution for Critical Materials Crossroads, UMKC is leading a national coalition of more than 260 partners working to strengthen America’s supply of the materials we need for the batteries, magnets and semiconductors that power much of the technology we rely on each day. Through this effort, we will grow our workforce, accelerate regional economic growth and launch new businesses and educate the next generation of leaders in critical materials. Here’s what it means for UMKC and Kansas City: - A massive expansion of research in advanced and critical materials - Unprecedented opportunities for student internships, co-ops and high-demand careers - A central role in shaping the nation’s transportation, defense and clean energy future This is the largest research award in UMKC, University of Missouri System and State of Missouri history, and is a defining moment for our university, our students and our region.

Today's defense programs aren't constrained by a lack of innovation. They're constrained by how quickly infrastructure can be planned, built and activated. From utility capacity and supply chain resilience to permitting and production readiness, infrastructure plays a critical role in how quickly mission-ready capabilities come online. Dan Koenigsfeld and Andy Mashek explore why aligning planning, design and construction early helps teams identify constraints sooner, reduce delays and keep projects moving. Because in today's mission-critical environments, infrastructure speed is mission speed. https://hubs.li/Q04pkR8m0 #Buildings #Manufacturing #Aerospace
