「加州制造最酷产品」揭晓：Stratolaunch高超音速飞行器与Phenix消防头盔夺冠，逾12.4万人投票
加州州长 Gavin Newsom 11月2日在 Sacramento 表彰加州制造业与技术协会（CMTA）「加州制造最酷产品」（Coolest Thing Made in California）比赛获奖者：大型制造商组冠军是 Stratolaunch 公司的 Talon-A——全美唯一可重复使用的自主高超音速飞行试验飞行器；中小制造商组冠军是 Phenix Technology 公司的 First Due 消防头盔，是保护消防员的最轻量头盔之一。
「加州不只在制造业领跑全国，我们制造的是定义未来的产品。我们的优势在于前沿创新、无可比拟的制造实力，以及在金州本地以最高标准生产的产品。」Newsom 说。
据州长办公室介绍，今年的比赛历时六周、逾12.4万人投票，比赛在10月制造业月期间举行。中小制造商组四强还包括 Arcata 的 Kokatat（Icon 干式防寒服）、San Jose 的 Northstar Photonics（光纤陀螺仪）与 Arcata 的 Wing Inflatables（DBATS 5.2）；大型制造商组四强还包括旧金山的 Astranis（MicroGEO 通信卫星）、Sunnyvale 的 Intuitive Surgical（da Vinci 手术系统）与 San Jose 的 Muon Space（Condor-M 卫星平台）。
州长办公室同时介绍了「加州就业优先」（California Jobs First）计划的进展：该计划去年批准逾22.2万美元用于 Stratolaunch 在 Mojave 的航空航天电气培训设施；纽森推动向全州13个 Jobs First 区域各投入500万美元制定区域路线图，13份区域计划已于2025年4月获美国经济发展署（EDA）正式认定为「综合经济发展战略」（CEDS），为加州历史上首次。该计划已支持333个早期项目，2025年全州投入近16亿美元、覆盖全部13个区域，支持逾6.1万个就业岗位并培训逾14.2万名工人；州政府近期又通过区域投资计划投入4,850万美元支持八个区域的18个项目，预计创造2万个岗位。
获奖的 Phenix First Due 消防头盔同时入选州长新推出的「加州制造」（Made in California）标签计划。该计划面向在金州生产的制造商开放申请，符合资格的申请者在限时优惠期内可免除全部加入费用，详情见计划官网 madeincalifornia.ca.gov。州长办公室称，加州制造业2025年经济产出达3,910亿美元。

'Coolest Thing Made in California' Winners Announced: Stratolaunch's Talon-A and Phenix's First Due Fire Helmet Take Top Honors
SACRAMENTO, California — Governor Gavin Newsom on November 2 celebrated the winners of the California Manufacturing & Technology Association's "Coolest Thing Made in California" contest. The winner in the large manufacturers bracket was Stratolaunch's Talon-A, the nation's only reusable, autonomous hypersonic flight-test vehicle. The winner of the Small & Medium-Sized Manufacturers bracket was Phenix Technology's First Due Fire Helmet, one of the lightest helmets that protects firefighters.
"California doesn't just lead the nation in manufacturing; we make the things that define the future. Our advantage is cutting-edge innovation, unmatched manufacturing strength, and products built to the highest standard made right here in the Golden State," Governor Newsom said.
Over 124,000 people voted over six weeks to determine this year's winners, and the contest was held during Manufacturing Month in October. The top small and medium-sized manufacturers also included Kokatat in Arcata, maker of the Icon Dry Suit; Northstar Photonics in San Jose, which produces the Fiber Optic Gyroscope; and Wing Inflatables in Arcata, which produces the DBATS 5.2. The top large manufacturers also included Astranis in San Francisco, maker of the MicroGEO Communications Satellite; Intuitive Surgical in Sunnyvale, maker of the da Vinci Surgical System; and Muon Space in San Jose, maker of the Condor-M Satellite Platform.
The Governor's Office also outlined progress under the California Jobs First program: last year it approved over $222,000 for Stratolaunch's aerospace electrical training facility in Mojave, and the Governor championed $5 million for each of the 13 California Jobs First regions to develop regional roadmaps. All 13 regional plans were formally designated by the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) as Comprehensive Economic Development Strategies (CEDS) in April 2025, a first in California history. Jobs First funding has supported 333 early-stage projects; in 2025, statewide investments totaled nearly $1.6 billion across all 13 regions, supporting more than 61,000 jobs and training for more than 142,000 workers. The administration recently invested $48.5 million through the California Jobs First Regional Investment Initiative to support 18 projects across eight economic regions, expected to create 20,000 jobs.
Phenix Technology's First Due Fire Helmet is also part of the new Made in California labeling campaign launched by Governor Newsom, which is now accepting applications from manufacturers producing in the Golden State, with all fees waived for eligible applicants for a limited time, at madeincalifornia.ca.gov. The Governor's Office said California's manufacturing sector generated $391 billion in economic output in 2025.
