The Future of Manufacturing with the Reshoring Institute

Описание: Founder and Executive Director of the ‪@ReshoringinstituteOrg‬ , Rosemary Coates, joins us to unpack what’s truly happening beyond reshoring.

You’ll hear why much of the work described as “coming back” to the U.S. was never here to begin with, where nearshoring to Mexico fits, how friend‑shoring actually plays out and why automation and skills will define the next decade.

We dig into China “decoupling” realities, tariff whiplash, the rise of C‑suite supply chain strategy and what leaders, policymakers and the next generation of professionals must do now.
