Manufacturing activity has slowed materially over the past year, especially as the global economy has weakened. Yet, there are pockets of resilience in the sector, and the U.S. has remained more resilient than many of our trading partners. This session focuses on the U.S. and global manufacturing outlook for 2023. 

With the passing of two landmark legislative pieces, the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors (CHIPS) Act and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), industrial businesses are presented with significant new opportunities.

In this session, we examine the post-election landscape and assess the tax legislative environment, the year-end omnibus legislation, and expectations for the first quarter of 2023 as the 118th Congress comes into session with a new majority in the House. We will also review the opportunities and expansion of credits and the LPO grants and funding within the new tax incentives under the CHIPS Act and IRA of 2022. Watch this video to ensure your business secures the optimum benefit under the new legislation.

With disruption serving as the only constant for supply chain leaders, industrial businesses must adapt to a growing list of challenges including global supply chain delays, geopolitical complications, workforce shortages and shifting demand patterns. Watch our webinar as we unlock new opportunities to proactively manage current supply chain disruptions and also craft a strategy to navigate future disruptions.

Our discussion highlights operational supply chain considerations to increase efficiency and adaptability; digital transformation and analytic initiatives to make your business more adaptable, resilient, and client-focused, as well as best practices to improve supply chain sustainability and decarbonization. This session will help empower leaders to prioritize and drive the continuing advancement of their supply chain capabilities through uncertain times.

In the continuation of the prior session, we take a deep dive into a case study detailing a mid-market US manufacturer’s efforts to improve sustainability through capitalization of available incentives and benefits of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. We highlight how your business can accomplish the dual missions of reducing costs while also decreasing your carbon footprint. The collaborative panel discussion addresses questions from the audience regarding sustainability, strategies for nearshoring and the integration of digital technologies to analyze performance.
