- PANEL DISCUSSION: SMART MANUFACTURING: NEW DRIVER OF ECONOMIC GROWTH
Summer Chen•Guangjun Jing•Colin Yu•Nicholas GORDONChina's factory workers helped power the country's record economic growth. But the country's manufacturing sector now faces a shrinking labor pool, as demographers predict that China's working-age population could decline by 35 million over the next five years. That means China's producers need to make more with fewer workers--and opens a door for new technologies, like AI, machine learning, and real-time monitoring to help build more resilient, efficient and clean factories. What actions can business leaders take to accelerate the growth of a smarter manufacturing sector?
