ABOUT AZ STITCH LAB
​

MISSION
The Arizona Stitch Lab mission is to bring material innovation, apparel circularity, industrial sewn goods manufacturing, and workforce development initiatives within the sewn goods sector together to benefit rural, indigenous and underserved residents across Arizona.

​Moonshot’s AZ Stitch Lab initiative is strategically aligned with the economic development and business attraction goals for the state. This project will help underserved Arizonans and our indigenous communities to develop a reskilling and upskilling program, with key focuses on certification and career path development for machine technicians and industrial sewers, enabling them to meet the needs of employers and pursue rewarding careers.
