Session Overview
Featuring Paul Lavoie alongside public and private sector leaders. Global competitiveness is no longer determined solely by the strength of individual organisations but by the resilience of entire industrial ecosystems. As geopolitical uncertainty, advanced manufacturing, and industrial policy reshape global supply chains, collaboration between business, government, academia, and innovation partners has become a strategic imperative. This executive panel explores how cross-sector partnerships can accelerate manufacturing innovation, strengthen supply chain resilience, and build long-term economic competitiveness. Learn how leading organisations are moving beyond traditional collaboration to shape the future of industry together.
