Abstract
A review of China's Manufacturing Innovation Centers (MICs) explores the status of the country's flagship manufacturing innovation program. At least 33 MICs have been established to date, suggesting that China is within reach of their goal of 40 MICs by 2025, as stated in their "Made in China 2025" national strategy. This review discusses the motivation, structure, and results of the implementation of the Manufacturing Innovation Centers so far, particularly with respect to their 14th Five-Year Plan, and compares China's approach to manufacturing innovation with that of the Manufacturing USA program and Germany's Fraunhofer Institutes. China views strategic investment in critical advanced manufacturing technologies as a focal point to furthering national interest and technical leadership.Citation
