The things people make, and the way they make them, determine how cities grow and decline,and influence how empires rise and fall. So, any disruption to the world’s factories matters.

And that disruption is surely coming. Factories are being digitized, filled with new sensors and new computers to make them quicker, more flexible, and more efficient.

Robots are breaking free from the cages that sur-round them, learning new skills, and new ways of working. And 3D printers have long promised world where you can make anything, any-where, from a computerized design. That visions moving closer to reality. These forces will lead to cleaner factories, producing better goods at lower prices, personalized to our individual needs and desires. Humans will be spared many of the dirty, repetitive, and dangerous jobs that have long been a feature of factory life.

But economist Helena Laurent says this period of rapid change in manufacturing is a fantastic op-opportunity to make the world a better place. “Manufacturing is the one system where you have got the biggest source of innovation, the biggest source of economic growth, and the biggest source of great jobs in the past.\"you can see it changing. That’s an opportunity to shape that system differently, and if we can, it will have enormous significance.\"
