Join us at the Intersection of Influence. Investment. Innovation.

The automobile has become the critical platform of innovation and investment sparking tectonic change across the U.S. industrial base. The speed of innovation is dependent upon access to capital through investments by institutional investors, public markets, private equity, VCs, and government funding. Today, government policies and regulations are playing a bigger role in shaping future industries than ever before. Where will investors focus as innovation competes for capital? The U.S. auto industry supports 10 million jobs, 5 percent of GDP and pumps $1 trillion into the economy every year. What will tomorrow bring?

From innovations and investments in roads and bridges, to new sensors and communication technologies, to new demands on energy supply, connectivity, data and AI, raw materials, and manufacturing, the automobile has become the global catalyst for the next wave of industrial innovation. How does public policy accelerate investment in innovation or detract from it?
