This panel focuses on cross-sector strategies to strengthen U.S. manufacturing in the face of global competition, workforce shifts, and rapid technological change. Panelists from national manufacturing institutes, industry, and government will discuss collaborative
models that accelerate innovation, transition technologies from lab to factory, and scale advanced manufacturing capabilities. Topics include public-private partnerships, digital transformation, cybersecurity, energy resilience, and workforce development —
with an emphasis on how these efforts are coordinated across institutional boundaries to build a more competitive and resilient manufacturing ecosystem.</div>
