Manufacturing Partner Day

Share this event

mHUB invites you to Manufacturing Partner Day, a curated event designed to connect hardtech startups with local manufacturers and suppliers across a broad range of production capabilities.

Startups will meet directly with manufacturers specializing in areas such as machining, sheet metal, plastics, PCBA, wire harnesses, assembly, and contract manufacturing. Whether you have active RFQs or are planning for future builds, the event creates focused opportunities to ask questions, understand manufacturing capabilities, and build relationships that support the transition from prototype to production.

To support more meaningful connections, early registration is encouraged. Startup registrations help inform the capabilities most in demand, allowing us to more closely curate participating manufacturers and prioritize alignment across both sides of the room.
