The Production Gap | Helping the West to Build Fast Enough

​This event brings together industry leaders, innovators, and policymakers to explore one of the most pressing challenges facing the West: building resilient manufacturing systems capable of sustaining technological leadership in an era of rapid AI-driven change.

​

​As breakthroughs in AI, robotics, and advanced engineering accelerate, the limiting factor is no longer innovation, it is production.

​The ability to manufacture at scale, adapt to disruption, and rapidly translate digital intelligence into physical output has become a strategic advantage.

​

​The discussion will focus on how Autonomous Manufacturing is reshaping industrial competitiveness. From aerospace and defense to energy and critical supply chains, resilient manufacturing is emerging as the foundation of economic security, national resilience, and technological sovereignty.
