The Industrial Base and Sustainment Award (IBAS) that eMagin received in June of 2020 aim was to strengthen and secure the Defense Supply Chain and secondarily try to jumpstart Job Creation and Innovation in the Industrial Base...

Similarly when eMagin received an Award from Mantech, the Manufacturing Arm of the Department of Defense the stated goal being was not only to co-develop the 2kx2k display with eMagin as a partner it also allowed for the Commercialization of the display hoping it finds it's way into the wider economy. Without this kind of innovation we'll all end up selling each other Beyond Meat Burgers. If you want to  check out the Local Economy in the Capitol District check out the Council of Industry situated in the Hudson Valley in Beautiful Upstate New York. 😀
