What is MAP?
The Manufacturing Alliance of Philadelphia is a trade organization created to give voice to the owners and employees of this important sector of Philadelphia's economy. The Alliance addresses issues of policy, economic development, job training and other topics relevant to the growth and economic well being of the industry. Its members are manufacturing and allied industry groups from within the City of Philadelphia who work in collaboration with government and other agencies to resolve challenges that might harm the sector and the City at large.
In 2006, MAP was created out of the economic development efforts of the Urban Industry
Initiative. After almost 10 years of grassroots work with manufacturers in Philadelphia,
it became apparent that one of the greatest obstacles faced by them was that they
lacked a cohesive force. With out this force, they were not buying or selling from
each other, they were not recognized by government and they were not able to take
advantage of resources that could help their companies grow. MAP was created to unify
this most important sector in Philadelphia's economy.
