The Metals Innovation Initiative (MI2) is a Kentucky-based nonprofit that provides collaborative, industry-led executive leadership to attract and promote advanced research, sustainability, commercialization, and talent development in Kentucky’s metals industry–and, ultimately, for Kentucky to be seen as the preeminent destination for metals innovation.

Kentucky’s metals sector has grown to become one of the state’s most substantial industries, composed of more than 230 facilities across the Commonwealth and responsible for approximately 25,000 full-time jobs.

MI2 was founded by some of Kentucky’s leading metals companies with support from the Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development’s KY Innovation. The launch was supported by Western Kentucky University, the Kentucky Science and Technology Corporation, AccelerateKY, and other support organizations.
