The Manufacturing Renaissance Council (MRC) model of economic and community development

CLCR develops programs and partnerships in support of advanced manufacturing in the United States. Our Manufacturing Renaissance Council (MRC) development model unites business, labor, government, and community stakeholders in support of advanced manufacturing in their city.

• The National Manufacturing Renaissance Council, an all-star leadership team united in their commitment to advanced manufacturing, strategic partnerships, world-class education, and community development.
• The Chicago Manufacturing Renaissance Council, the original MRC, working since 2005 to make Chicago the global leader in advanced manufacturing through innovative programs like Austin Polytechnical Academy, a college and career prep high school focused on manufacturing and engineering, located in Chicago's West Side neighborhood of Austin.
• The Bay Area Manufacturing Renaissance Council, a strategic partnership in support of advanced manufacturing in the San Francisco Bay Area, inspired by CLCR's model in Chicago.
