🚀 The Future of Work and Innovation Starts Here 🚀 In 2021, the Heartland Robotics Cluster (HRC) was founded with a bold mission: to ignite innovation, robotics, and STEM in America’s heartland. Backed by $25 million from the U.S. Economic Development Administration, Nebraska’s seven participants, including the iHUB, have been hard at work transforming that vision into reality. It’s time to rethink what drives our economy and our future. Nebraska’s top GDP producers—manufacturing and agriculture—don’t just sustain us; they innovate. Manufacturing alone contributes 12% of Nebraska’s GDP and supports 100,000 workers. Yet, for too long, trades and skilled work have been undervalued. The tide is turning. The world is embracing the critical importance of skills, adaptability, and innovative problem-solving—qualities that come from both hands-on experience and education. Short term stackable credentials are valued now more than ever. Let’s challenge outdated perceptions and forge a new path forward. The future belongs to those who innovate, whether they’re building precision robotics or feeding the world. If you want to join the mission and learn how to help, join us at the HRC Automation and Robotics Conference this Friday, 11/22, in Lincoln, NE. Together, we can shape the future. #Robotics #STEM #Innovation #Manufacturing #Nebraska #HRC https://lnkd.in/g8eH7Hn9
