On Tuesday, July 22, 2025, Dr. Jacob Nuechterlein, Elementum 3D CEO and Founder, will spend the day with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the leading advocacy group for U.S. businesses. As part of the elite group of Vistage Member Excellence Award winners selected in October 2024, Jacob will spend the day listening to several U.S. Chamber of Commerce policy experts presenting on key issues including small business policy, international policy and more.

The goal of the event is to give CEOs and business owners from all over the country the opportunity to influence legislation that affects business and get the inside track on policy issues to help make better decisions.

As a representative of the Vistage community at Vistage on the Hill, Jacob will be engaging directly with Chamber policy experts on pressing issues—including small business, international policy, and AI—sharing real-world insights to help shape the future of business policy. A discussion and real-world insights from attending Vistage members, representing a range of industries, will follow the presentations.

“It’s a privilege to represent Vistage on the Hill. The insight gained into the small to midsize business landscape is essential to our company’s sustainability. The opportunity to engage with the US Chamber of Commerce is more than an honor, Vistage has given CEOs an active voice to impact key business policies and legislative agendas,” said Dr. Nuechterlein.

The two-day invitation-only Vistage on the Hill is presented by Vistage Worldwide, Inc. in partnership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Vistage is the world’s largest CEO coaching and peer advisory organization for small and midsize businesses. For more than 65 years, they have helped CEOs, business owners and key executives solve their greatest challenges through confidential peer groups and one-to-one executive coaching sessions. 

Join us on Wednesday, July 30 at 11am ET for this highly anticipated 1-hour live Bridging the Gap webinar. Learn ways of success when engaging with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). Our presenting experts will focus on approaches beyond initial engagement that work in the marketplace and government procurement along with real world successes.

It’s true that operating in the DoD market is daunting, especially so for “non-traditional” defense contractors, but the U.S. Defense market provides a substantial opportunity for the additive manufacturing (AM) community to increase its integration into defense applications. An interactive Q&A session will follow the presentations.
