Emerging Technologies

Where Innovation Meets Application

Exploring the Intersection of Emerging Technologies and Power Transmission Engineering

The Motion + Power Manufacturers Alliance (MPMA) provides a structured forum for identifying, evaluating, and understanding emerging technologies that influence design, manufacturing processes, inspection, and system performance. 

Through focused committees and industry-driven education, MPMA equips manufacturers with practical insight to support informed decision-making, strategic investment, and competitive advantage.

Emerging Technology Webinar Series

Held on the first Wednesday of each month, the MPMA Emerging Technology Webinar Series delivers forward-looking insight into technologies shaping the industry. Programming is developed directly by the Emerging Technologies Committees, ensuring timely and manufacturer-focused content.

Each session provides: 

  • Practical technical insight 
  • Real-world case studies 
  • Expert perspectives 
  • Live question-and-answer engagement 

Each of these webinars is taped and available on-demand.
