    What the U.S. Can Learn From the German Manufacturing Model w/ Jon DeSouza

    Jon DeSouza, President and CEO of HARTING Americas, explains how German manufacturers like HARTING remained competitive by keeping production local and embracing deep automation, contrasting this with the US trend of offshoring. He details HARTING's 'in the region for the region' strategy, which uses standardized, automated factories to ensure consistent quality and reduce carbon footprints across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. DeSouza also discusses the shift toward modular, configurable products that enable on-demand manufacturing and the critical infrastructure challenges facing the transition to an all-electric society.

    PCBs, Global Innovation Policy & the CHIPS Act

    Stephen Ezell, VP of Global Innovation Policy at the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF), discusses the CHIPS and Science Act, explaining how US policy aims to counter China's industrial strategy and restore semiconductor manufacturing. He details the act's funding structure, the gap between authorization and appropriation, and the necessity of incentives to compete with foreign subsidies. Ezell also advocates for a similar 'PCBs Act' to address the decline of US printed circuit board production and suggests nearshoring to Latin America as a viable alternative to offshore dependence.

    Ep. 15: Can Mexico Become Robotics’ Next Powerhouse? | The Robo Success Podcast

    Aldo Luevano, Chairman and Co-Founder of Roomie IT, explains how his company pivoted from consumer robotics to enterprise AI software due to the difficulty of proving ROI for humanoid robots in Latin America's low-labor-cost market. He argues that Mexico is positioned to become a strategic robotics manufacturing hub for the U.S. by leveraging low tariffs and compliance advantages to produce components like actuators and servo motors, or full robots, avoiding Chinese supply chain risks. Luevano highlights that while R&D capabilities in Mexico are strong, the region lacks the deep-pocketed investors needed for hardware development, making partnerships with U.S. design partners and Silicon Valley investors critical for scaling.

    How Colocating R&D Drives Manufacturing Innovation w/ Martin DeBono

    Martin DeBono, President at GAF Energy, explains how colocating R&D with manufacturing in their San Jose facility accelerates innovation and aids talent recruitment compared to offshore models. He details the launch of their nailable solar shingle, noting that domestic production allows for faster iteration cycles—reducing time-to-market from nearly a year to roughly 40 days—and builds empathy between engineers and operators. DeBono argues that while overseas manufacturing offers lower direct costs, the hidden expenses of travel, working capital for safety stock, and talent retention make reshoring a superior strategy for competitive advantage in the solar industry.
