Manufacturing Competitiveness
Do you have what it takes?
The recent economic downturn has brought increased focus on the global manufacturing industry and the solid foundation it provides in value creation and jobs which are key aspects of a strong, resilient economy for all countries.
Globalization and technology are just two of the many factors that have changed the face of manufacturing. Energy, sustainability, resources, and talent are also becoming priorities for manufacturers as these companies look to future growth. Governments around the world are recognizing the need to develop and support an over-arching strategy in support of manufacturing for growth, economic stability, and global competitiveness. Policy changes, public-private collaboration, and talent development must be viewed as critical success factors for manufacturing.
The Global Manufacturing Competitiveness Initiative seeks to identify the greatest source of competitive advantage for manufacturers today and expectations for the future.
