Everyone at ASK Power is excited to experience the growth and success mHUB has generated since opening in March. In less than 9 months, mHub has tripled its membership to over 300 members.

mHub connects the many segments of manufacturing, entrepreneurs, engineers, small to medium manufacturers, and large companies in the innovation game. It’s an experiment that is working, working to produce better jobs and a more competitive industry.

“The manufacturing industry has certainly experienced its share of change, evolving from what many still envision as ‘traditional’ manufacturing… to today's manufacturing that is digital, high tech and driven by ideas and innovation.

When I think of modern manufacturing right here in Illinois -- I think of mHUB (https://mhubchicago.com/), Chicago's innovation center for physical product development and manufacturing. “   

- Greg Baise, president and CEO of the Illinois Manufacturers' Association
