In his most recent foray to Silicon Valley, Defense Secretary Ash Carter sought new ways of engaging innovative commercial electronics companies in his effort to create a 21st Century U.S. military. This time he offered more than just nice words. The Secretary announced the creation of a manufacturing innovation institute to work primarily on flexible hybrid electronics. Over a five year period, DoD together with the FlexTech Alliance, a consortium of private companies, universities, laboratories and state and local governments, will contribute some $165 million to this effort with a $75\/$90 million split.<\/p>\n
