Regionalization of manufacturing continues to drive growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and new jobs nationally, but it’s also crystallizing Silicon Valley’s role in advanced manufacturing. Recall that advanced manufacturing involves processes such as 3-D printing (or ‘additive manufacturing’ for the real insiders) and complex robotics in order to speed up product development cycles and enhanced customization. Devices that are born out of the Silicon Valley technology ecosystem depend on these characteristics, as well as more reliable supply chains and protecting intellectual property.
