Where Innovation Meets Imagination
Despite billions in federal incentives and high-profile tariffs aimed at reshoring manufacturing, the US still can’t seem to fill its factory jobs.
While the official narrative blames skills gaps and labor shortages, the deeper story may be about cultural shifts, generational values, and the unintended consequences of financialisation. [Read more…] about The US can’t fill its factory jobs even now. So how is it going to revitalize manufacturing in the future?
The ship broking industry has always been reliant on building strong personal relationships that are based on expertise and trust.
As we enter a new world of technology, shipbroker jobs are being revolutionised by numerous innovations – most importantly artificial intelligence (AI).
As AI continues to evolve and enter into various sectors, its impact on ship broking is not only inevitable but will significantly innovate the sector. Here, we’ll be discussing what the future of ship broking looks like in a world dominated by AI. [Read more…] about The Future of Ship Broking in a World of AI

This article is extracted from the robotics case study in Industrial Policy for the United States: Winning the Competition for Good Jobs and High-Value Industries by Marc Fasteau and Ian Fletcher.
The book argues that in order to compete for economic and political power, America must adopt a three-pronged approach to industrial policy that encompasses tariffs and trade; manufacturing and innovation support; and a strategy to bring down the overvaluation of the dollar.
David P. Goldman calls the “standard reference work on industrial policy in the foreseeable future” in a recent American Conservative article. The book is on sale through Cambridge University Press from September 30, 2024.

Sometimes even the most favorite job can cause conflicting feelings in a person – from fatigue to the desire to write an application for dismissal. Often, with the right attitude to one’s duties and the possibility of communication with the manager, this can be avoided.
But is it worth it? Or maybe it’s not so much about the work, as it is about its specifics. For example, you work in an office, but deep down you have been thinking about looking for remote Vue developer jobs for a long time. Therefore, let’s try to figure out how to understand that it’s time to change jobs. [Read more…] about How to understand that it’s time to change job
With annual revenue in the US robotics market expected to grow at 5.62 percent, resulting in a market volume of over $9 billion by 2027, John Bubnikovich, president of ABB US Robotics Division, is making several predictions on key trends in in robotics automation in the US for 2023 and beyond.
Bubnikovich says: ”The impact of US labor shortages is increasingly being felt by many businesses as they struggle to keep pace with customer demands, even with the potential for some softening in the US economy in the short-term.
“This, combined with global political uncertainty, fragile supply chains and rising material costs, in addition to the growing trend of reshoring and nearshoring of operations, means more companies are adopting robotic automation to maximize flexibility, build resilience and adapt more sustainable production processes.” [Read more…] about ABB predicts top US robotics trends
Historic 80,000 sq ft facility in Chicago Near West Side Opportunity Zone will expand to make mHUB the ‘largest independent manufacturing center in US’
Manufacturing and “hardtech” innovation center, mHUB, is investing $50 million in the acquisition and build-out of a historic manufacturing facility within Chicago’s Kinzie Industrial Corridor on the city’s Near West Side.
The building is located within a designated Opportunity Zone and planned manufacturing district on a 2-acre site that will increase mHUB’s prototyping and testing facilities and office and convening spaces to become the largest independent manufacturing innovation center in the country.
Launched in 2017, mHUB has supported over 500+ startups and 200 manufacturers from all over the world that have created 5,000+ jobs and generated over $2.6 billion of economic activity. [Read more…] about mHUB investing $50 million to build ‘largest independent manufacturing center in America’
