A combination of rich incentives within the Inflation Reduction Act, high demand for renewable energy procurement, and shifting trade policies are driving a steady flow of new factory announcements in the U.S.

Panelists will explore these forces while taking a deep dive into what the domestic manufacturing landscape looks like now and what the future may hold. Topics will include what technologies are being deployed, the implementation of tax credits, transferability, pricing and more.
