- Computer technologies (e.g., CAD, CAE, CAM)
- High Performance Computing (HPC) for modeling, simulation and analysis
- High Precision technologies
- Information technologies
- Advanced robotics and other intelligent production systems
- Automation
- Control systems to monitor processes
- Sustainable and green processes and technologies
- New industrial platform technologies (e.g., composite materials)
- Ability to custom manufacture
- Ability to manufacture high or low volume (scalability)
