BLUEPRINT NEBRASKA

BUILDING FOR TOMORROW

Blueprint Nebraska, a statewide economic development plan, identifies the state’s manufacturing sector as one of its most promising economic growth opportunities.

Advanced manufacturing sectors have seen the most significant growth over the past three decades. Nebraska ranks No. 40 in concentration of advanced industries, according to the Brookings Institution.

The Nebraska Chamber is working with Blueprint Nebraska to build partnerships that:
  • Invest in automation. At 60% automation potential, the manufacturing sector can easily grow in productivity.
  • Build broadband connectivity.
  • Launch a venture capital investment fund and productivity incentives, focused on next-generation manufacturing companies.
  • Attract more workers by scaling internship and apprenticeship programs, enhancing training and customized workforce solutions and boosting STEM talent among graduates.
  • Create a multi-partner manufacturing innovation center of excellence, focused on Industry 4.0/automation.
  • Develop an “inland port” to cluster transportation and industrial hubs for efficiency and innovative potential.​

The plan drew unprecedented engagement from state, private sector, agricultural, education and civic leaders, including the insights of 320 diverse industry council members from across the state, and more than 7,000 Nebraskans through 60 public meetings and a statewide survey.
This long-term, strategic economic development plan will be measured against a series of economic indicators and rankings to ensure success. In particular, it proposes to achieve the following by 2030:
 
  • Make Nebraska a top-three state to live in, according to various national rankings;
  • Create 25,000 jobs;
  • Grow annual income of each Nebraskan by $15,000;
  • Add 43,000 18-to-34-year-old residents in Nebraska; and
  • Boost research and development investment by $200 million annually.

As the only statewide, broad-based business and industry association, we are proud to be a private sector partner in the Blueprint Nebraska initiative.
