Frontier Manufacturing & Future Industries
See how advanced manufacturing, robotics, AI and intelligent automation are transforming industries across Asia.
Through curated learning journeys, leadership teams gain first-hand exposure to the companies, factories and innovation ecosystems shaping the next generation of industry.
Why Now
China's factories now run with 392 robots for every 10,000 workers — nearly three times the global average — and some don't employ a single person on the floor.
In Xinjiang, a textile plant runs 5,000 looms around the clock without a single human on the production floor — one of hundreds of "dark factories" now operating across the country, so automated the lights can stay off. This isn't a future scenario. It's how a growing share of the world's goods are already being made.
