AI, automation, and remote sensing are rewriting the playbook for how we manufacture, mine, and build. But in capital-intensive industries, breakthrough ideas alone aren’t enough. True transformation demands real-world execution at scale, bold capital, and deep collaboration between start-ups, investors, and early adopters. They’ll tackle the hard truths of industrial transformation—how deep-tech startups can scale in established industries, what it takes to fund them, and how customers are turning breakthrough tech into real business impact.
