Hosted by the North Capital Forum

North America is entering a defining period in which the strength of the region will depend on how effectively Mexico, the United States, and Canada build and compete together. Advanced manufacturing sits at the heart of that equation—connecting markets, talent, technology, and supply chains across borders while strengthening the region’s capacity to compete globally.

NCF26 USA Co-Chair Blake Moret and Amb. Roberto Lazzeri will have a conversation on the future of North American industry. Drawing on their experience and perspectives on the forces reshaping manufacturing, they will explore what it takes to strengthen cross-border production, expand what North America can build together, and turn regional integration into a source of shared growth.

The conversation will examine the choices facing North American industry—from supply chains and technology to talent and investment—and how deeper economic partnership can create new opportunities for businesses, workers, and communities across the continent.
