About the Manufacturing Summit

Dates: October 6th – October 7th, 2022
Location: Building 20 Brooklyn Navy Yard

For our first annual Manufacturing Summit, Nanotronics is convening influential manufacturing experts, industry pioneers, thought leaders, academics, policymakers, and key stakeholders for a cross-platform exchange to address pressing manufacturing challenges in today’s complex environment and examine opportunities on regional, state, and national levels. We will delve into key focus areas such as competitiveness, supply chain resilience, environmental sustainability, and climate change, globalization, the role of industrial clusters in infrastructural development, workforce empowerment, AI, machine learning, and more.

Day one is geared towards career development for the current talent pool as well as those preparing to enter the professional world.

Day two will include a series of provocative panels and idea exchange around new innovations and technologies with the sole mission of responsibly and efficiently shaping our industrial manufacturing future.

Congratulations to Aaryan Nair (Class of City Tech ’23) for winning the Belle Zeller Scholarship 2022!  The Belle Zeller is given to a handful of students every year for exceptional community service in the field of study.

 Aaryan is a Mechanical Engineering Senior, with a focus on Alternate Energy and Sustainability. He had been working  for the past 2 years at the Composite and Bio Materials Lab (CBML) under Prof. AKM Rahman, publishing research on socially conscious projects such as alternative energy sources, and safety features for wind turbines. Under the guidance of Prof. Masato Nakamura, he had also designed a biodigester that converts human waste to energy, which could be hugely resourceful in remote locations and developing countries as a part of CUNY’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and environmental policy. Aaryan also won the prestigious ASME mechanical engineering NYC scholarship in 2021.
