Workforce Development Sponsorship Opportunity
Empowering Entrepreneurs in Northern New Mexico
Los Alamos Makers invites you to partner with us in supporting a growing pipeline of creative entrepreneurs emerging across Northern New Mexico.
Following the success of our recent “Reverse Demo Days,” we have seen firsthand how access to tools, mentorship, and real-world workflows can unlock innovation. Participants from Dixon, Española, Cerro, and the Jemez and San Ildefonso Pueblo not only explored small-batch manufacturing—they began developing tangible product ideas and expressed interest in pursuing early-stage funding to prototype and test those ideas.
This is where your support can make a direct and measurable impact.
As a sponsor, you will help bridge the critical gap between inspiration and execution—enabling entrepreneurs to move from concept to prototype, and from prototype to viable business. Your investment will support:
-
Access to digital fabrication tools (laser cutting, 3D printing, etc.)
-
Materials and prototyping costs for early-stage product development
-
Hands-on training in design-to-manufacturing workflows
-
Mentorship and guidance toward commercialization
This effort has also drawn interest from the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, whose recent visit highlighted the importance of community-based innovation infrastructure in strengthening regional economies. Your sponsorship positions your organization at the forefront of this emerging model—supporting local talent while contributing to long-term economic resilience.
