The Reindustrialize Summit is an annual conference held in Detroit, Michigan focused on manufacturing, industrial capacity, and related technology, investment, and public policy issues in the United States.[1][2]

History

The first Reindustrialize Summit was held June 25–26, 2024 at Newlab at Michigan Central in Detroit.[1] The idea emerged from informal discussions following a factory tour at Atomic Industries in March 2024. The summit was founded by Aaron Slodov, Falon Donohue, Austin Bishop, and Gregory Bernstein.[3]

A second edition took place July 16–17, 2025 at Hudson's Detroit.[2]

Media coverage

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer spoke at the 2025 summit; his remarks on trade policy and manufacturing were covered by Reuters and the Financial Times.[4][5] Business Insider and Defense One reported on defense manufacturing themes and company announcements at the event.[6][7]

The Free Press described the conference as bringing together investors, manufacturers, and government officials around industrial capacity, national security, and economic policy.[8]
