Chancellor Donde Plowman touted Tennessee as a destination for advanced materials and manufacturing and stressed the importance of research universities building innovation ecosystems during a meeting of more than 200 manufacturing industry leaders from across the country at UT Knoxville’s manufacturing research facility in Hardin Valley.
Chancellor Donde Plowman appeared in October on WBIR’s local politics show Inside Tennessee, where she celebrated UT Knoxville’s growing momentum.
Industry leaders and government agencies are turning to UT for our expertise and capability to tackle complicated problems with real-world implications. From advanced materials and manufacturing to artificial intelligence, quantum materials to precision agriculture, the work happening across our research enterprise is making life and lives better in Tennessee and beyond.
This season on the podcast You Might Be Right, former Governors Bill Haslam and Phil Bredesen talk to secretaries of state in Georgia and Michigan about election security, former college admissions officials and legal analysts about affirmative action, and academic scholars about how artificial intelligence will impact democracy.
Agriculture is, and always has been, a vital industry for our state—it is both our heritage and our future.
