The U.S. is experiencing a critical moment in its ability to ensure its economic resilience, technological advancement, and environmental sustainability in the face of evolving global dynamics. While the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) represents a pivotal opportunity for progress on all fronts, it also vividly illustrates the challenge to revitalizing domestic manufacturing, particularly in the automotive sector.
Research shows that the automotive industry was one of the hardest-hit sectors during the COVID-19 pandemic, due largely to its far-flung supply chain. Aligning with the U.S. national interest, the Southeast Regional Center, LLC (SRC) aims to become a catalyst for change, spearheading initiatives to bring back key components of manufacturing to the United States and reinvigorate the "Made in the U.S.A." ethos.
