7、ar for the Global Network of Advanced Manufacturing Hubs (AMHUBs). As manufacturers around the world sought to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, companies large and small learned that resilience and agility have an equal seat at the table alongside efficiency. Driven by the Fourth Industrial Revolutio
8、n, leaders are leaning into technology adoptions and trying to better understand new business models that will enable them to survive in a world permeated by frequent shocks.For the worlds manufacturers to adapt to such shocks quickly, however, they can no longer afford to act alone collaboration wi
9、thin and across value chains is critical. While industry sectors and regions will have their own unique advantages (and challenges), by sharing experiences, actions and solutions, we can ensure that none of us is trying to reinvent the wheel. In doing so, future shocks wont mean we all have to start
10、 over but can instead rely on cumulative experiences to help shape adaptive responses for our regions and industry sectors. This is what the Global Network of AMHUBs is delivering. It allows regional manufacturing ecosystems to share their best practices on a global scale, while simultaneously learn
11、ing from the actions of their fellow Hubs. From there, the potential is nearly endless as Hubs across the Network begin to drive collaborations to address common challenges and accelerate change. In doing so, the Network is giving a voice to local manufacturing communities, amplifying their concerns
12、 and successful innovations to reach global audiences. While each Hub has different regional goals, methods and strategies, the objective of building resilience into regional and global supply chains is shared by all, and it is critically important to have that international collaboration for shared
13、 learning and knowledge.

129、he Ulsan and Michigan AMHUBs to scale production of additive manufacturing for the South Korean and US markets. The additional capacity of accessing the Michigan 3D printing network accelerates that scaling process. Currently, the South Korean AMHUB, managed by UNIST, is collaborating with several M
130、ichigan-based academic and R&D institutions to develop a combined approach to more efficient additive manufacturing strategies, uses and training. A trip by the Ulsan AMHUB in March 2022 to visit labs, academic leaders, manufacturers and the Automation Alley-based Michigan AMHUB will be the next ste
131、p in solidifying this relationship. Both Ulsan and northern Michigan have commitments to and expertise in aerospace, automotive and shipbuilding. This collaboration will explore the impact of additive manufacturing on the high-cost, low-volume portions of these industries. In addition, new cross-Hub
132、 collaborations formed as the Brazil AMHUB discovered that innovative solutions being demanded by local agricultural industry stakeholders had already been developed by key players in the Queensland AMHUBs ecosystem. While Brazil is actively using 5G and transforming a major sugar manufacturing faci
133、lity, the Queensland AMHUB is home to a large group of agricultural entrepreneurs whose expertise and insights may accelerate the transformation in Brazil. Through discussions with their Queensland counterparts, the Brazil AMHUB is unlocking access to a group of “agri-preneurs” with exciting innovat
134、ions specifically tailored to the food industry. This increases visibility and provides access to capital for the smaller entrepreneurs in Queensland, while ensuring a pipeline of innovation for the So Paulo region.Another recent collaboration is forming between the AMHUBs based in Europe to support
135、 a partnership that enables them to increase participation in a consortium for EU funding and the European Digital Innovation Hubs.The increasing success of collaborations between SMEs in multiple areas of the world is sparked by the AMHUBs in their respective regions, which remain actively engaged
136、through the Global AMHUB Network. The World Economic Forum is committed to increasing this collective work to enhance regional and global manufacturing expertise, resiliency and agility.Global Network of Advanced Manufacturing Hubs19Next steps3The Global Network of Advanced Manufacturing Hubs can be

138、While the world has pivoted to a virtual operating environment at an incredible pace, in the world of manufacturing there is no substitute for seeing operations first-hand. As the ability for stakeholders to meet in person becomes more viable, the Global Network of AMHUBs will facilitate more connec

Collaborate As the Global Network has matured, individual Hubs are now looking to develop and scale activities beyond their own regions. In 2022, the Global Network wil
