Manufacturing shapes the future. Let’s work together to build what comes next.
2030 Is Closer Than You Think.
The next five years will reshape our world—and the role of American manufacturing in it. From AI and automation to global resource shortages, disruptive forces are accelerating at an unprecedented pace. But with great disruption comes great opportunity.
At DVIRC, we believe the future belongs to those who are prepared. That’s why we’re inviting forward-thinking manufacturers, innovators, and public sector partners to join us in building a resilient, competitive, and future-ready industrial base.
Change Is Coming. Be the One Who Leads It.
The World in 2030 report from Bank of America highlights these seismic shifts that will impact manufacturing, national security, and economic growth. To win the decade, we must act now.

Technology is Eating the World
AI isn’t just changing how we work—it’s changing what’s possible. As we shift from Industry 5.0 to 6.0, agentic AI, robotics, and advanced simulations will redefine production, design, and delivery. Manufacturers must act now to integrate intelligent systems that will drive the next era of industrial performance, efficiency, and competitiveness.
Digital Insecurity
The rise of cyberattacks, AI-powered disinformation, and deepfakes are no longer fringe threats—they are systemic risks to our digital supply chains. As technology advances, so must our defenses. Resilient manufacturing requires secure operations, robust data protection, and workforce training to navigate a world where digital risk is now a frontline concern.

More of Everything
Tomorrow’s technologies demand more—more energy, metals, compute power, skilled talent, and bandwidth. The manufacturing sector is facing growing pressure to scale sustainably, source wisely, and build agile infrastructure. Solving these resource challenges will define which companies lead in the AI-enabled economy.
Historic Investment Is Fueling a New Industrial Era
Since 2021, over $1 trillion in private manufacturing investment has been announced in the U.S.—more than half in semiconductors and electronics. This surge reflects a once-in-a-generation moment to reindustrialize America with advanced capabilities, supply chain strength, and future-ready innovation hubs. The Moonshot is already underway.
