What is AMP SoCal?

The Advanced Manufacturing Partnership for Southern California (AMP SoCal) collaborates with organizations in both public and private sectors, across government, academia and industry to strengthen the region’s aerospace and defense manufacturing economy. Led by the Price School - USC Center for Economic Development, AMP SoCal is focused on the southernmost ten counties in California which include: Imperial, Kern, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura, a federally designated Investing in Manufacturing Community Partnership (IMCP) region. AMP SoCal’s shared goal is to provide aerospace and defense manufacturers and their supply chain with the tools, talent, and capacity to master the future.

​

AMP SoCal is bringing together a wide range of SoCal organizations to form new collaborative partnerships with the capacity to focus on – and solve – the complex issues facing the aerospace and defense industry through the combined knowledge, innovation and political support of its dynamic partnership.
