While tech trends in recent years have favored the intangible — AI/ML, data, cloud, mobile, and quantum, to name a few — the basis for all these untethered innovations has been conversely material. Now, the world has turned its attention to what was always there — and what will remain the cornerstone for all the “next big things” and deep-tech trends to come — Manufacturing.
