The Commonwealth Center for Advanced Manufacturing (CCAM) transforms applied research into business advantages. It brings together best-in-class manufacturers and Virginia's top higher education institutions (University of Virginia, Virginia Tech and Virginia State University) to collaborate and deliver new "production-ready" solutions to factories.
Industrial members lead the center, determining and guiding research priorities. And unlike many collaborative research models, CCAM members have full usage rights to all intellectual property generated through the center's generic research program. It's a game changer. And it will turn ideas into profit faster and more affordably than ever before. To learn more, visit: http://www.ccam-va.com/
