How does the U.S. stay competitive in manufacturing, EVs, and AI while protecting innovation and growing the workforce?
Manufacturing has always been the backbone of Michigan’s economy, and few people understand this better than Congresswoman Haley Stevens. Representing Michigan’s 11th District, she has spent her career championing industrial policy, workforce development, and technological innovation. From her time on the U.S. Auto Rescue Task Force to her leadership on the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee, Stevens brings a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities facing American industry.
In this episode, we explore how Michigan—and the U.S. as a whole—can maintain its competitive edge in manufacturing, navigate the future of the EV market, and ensure the workforce is prepared for the next generation of industrial technology. If you care about the future of manufacturing, this conversation is one you won’t want to miss.
Listen to learn:
- Why Michigan’s EV industry is facing a critical turning point and what policies will determine its long-term success
- How the CHIPS and Science Act is reshaping U.S. manufacturing—and the next frontier in supply chain security
- Why industrial AI and automation adoption are accelerating—and what’s missing from America’s strategy
- The hidden workforce gap in manufacturing education that could stall industry growth
- What a little-known manufacturing success story in Michigan reveals about the future of U.S. innovation
3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:
- America’s EV strategy is at a crossroads. Policy decisions made now will determine whether the U.S. leads in electric vehicle manufacturing or falls behind. Workforce training and battery production will be key to staying competitive.
- CHIPS and Science was just the start. While the act boosted domestic semiconductor production, gaps remain in minerals, advanced materials, and supply chain resilience. A national strategy is needed to secure the future of U.S. manufacturing.
- Industrial AI is evolving faster than policy. Manufacturers are adopting AI-driven automation, but without a clear national framework, workforce development and industry competitiveness risk falling behind global leaders
