How reindustrialization makes a difference for consumers and communities

(BPT) - At a time when the economy is top of mind, many business leaders are amplifying efforts toward reindustrialization, aiming to revitalize production through modernization, spark new industries and return manufacturing to regions that will most benefit from the products and jobs created. Improving the supply chain and keeping costs down means finding innovative ways to improve industrial activity nationwide and to manufacture products here in the United States. This will also help boost the economy and employment for a wide range of positions.

At this year's Reindustrialize Conference in Detroit, speakers emphasized a movement that focuses on combining industrial nostalgia and cutting-edge technology. Detroit's historical presence as the automotive capital of the world and Michigan's thriving advanced manufacturing scene made the state the perfect backdrop for this timely conversation. Over 1,000 leaders from tech, defense, finance and government converged in Detroit for these future-forward discussions, along with venture capitalists hoping to fund the next industrial revolution.
