JPMorgan Chase announced a $1.5 trillion, 10-year Security and Resiliency Initiative focused on strengthening America’s critical industries.
The bank is deploying up to $10 billion in direct capital investments to help companies enhance growth, spur innovation, and accelerate strategic manufacturing across four key areas: Supply Chain and Advanced Manufacturing, Defense and Aerospace, Energy Independence and Resilience, and Frontier and Strategic Technologies.
This capital deployment spans 27 specific sub-sectors, from critical minerals and robotics to semiconductors and cybersecurity.
Why It Matters
For small and mid-sized businesses, this represents a potential opportunity.
The initiative targets companies of all sizes and development stages, offering financing, advice, and, in some cases, equity investment. Companies receiving this capital will be positioned to grow. Whether you are a prime supplier, subsupplier, or service provider, one of these 27 sub-sectors likely aligns with what you already do well.
What You Should Do Now
Start by mapping your current business capabilities against the four key areas and 27 sub-sectors. Which one or two represent your strongest competitive advantage?
Next, create or update your capability statement to explicitly align with these key areas. Companies seeking suppliers and partners in these sectors will be looking for clear evidence of relevant experience and capacity.
Finally, research companies already operating in your target sub-sector. Companies in these sectors will likely be scaling operations and seeking reliable partners. An updated and well-crafted capability statement becomes an essential tool for effective engagement.
