“There are many new and expanding programs at the local, state and federal levels to support the growth and retention of manufacturing businesses,” Austin Wheelock, executive director of Operation Oswego County, said in the announcement. “We want to make sure our manufacturers, large and small, are aware of all the resources that exist and have the technical support to seek these opportunities, which was the catalyst for creating The Summit.”
The 2025 program will include educational sessions and panel discussions covering a range of issues central to manufacturing success. Topics will include financial benefits and incentives available to manufacturers; workforce support and training opportunities; employee benefit solutions; and tariff and export logistics.
Joe Nehme, senior manager of external affairs for Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MU) will deliver the keynote address. Nehme will discuss the opportunities for manufacturers in relation to Micron’s investment in Central New York and what the development means for the broader regional supply chain.
His insights are expected to provide valuable context on how local manufacturers can position themselves to benefit from “one of the most significant technology investments in U.S. history,” Operation Oswego County said.
