The South is leading the nation in announcements of new production facilities for electric vehicles, solar panels, wind turbines, batteries and microchips. Our region is also rich in the natural resources critical to these cutting-edge technologies. Through this investment in next-generation manufacturing, thousands of well-paying jobs are being created.

This event will bring together political leaders, industry executives, economic development officials and local stakeholders for a one-day event to reflect on this Southern Surge.
