CADENCE Program Webinar: Wearable FHE for Defense Applications
This webinar, focused on wearable flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) for defense applications, is meant for any small California-based company—or any US-based company with operations in California—to learn more about how to apply for assistance through a grant from the California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR).
With the grant funds, NextFlex will support small businesses in the California defense industrial base by providing access to leading edge FHE design, prototyping, and low-volume additive manufacturing services through its Technology Hub in San Jose. Qualified small businesses can apply for assistance to convert existing product designs to flexible ones, or to develop an entirely new device. Click here to learn more!
Founded in 1978, Action Duct's services have expanded from duct cleaning to a full spectrum of offerings, including COVID-19 cleaning and disinfecting, silo cleaning, industrial oven cleaning, Aeroseal duct sealing, pressure and power washing services, and more. As Action Duct grew, its owner hired a dedicated salesperson and quickly expanded the sales force. However, the team’s sales efforts failed to produce the desired revenue and turnover on the sales team started to increase. Action Duct's owner felt a formal sales training program was necessary to address growing market needs and turned to CMTC for help. Since then, continuous strategic discussions and collaborative efforts between Action Duct and CMTC have led to a series of human resources, sales, business strategy, and digital marketing engagements.
