Manufacturing has always been about making things faster, but scaling that speed without breaking your supply chain is a challenge.

In this edition, we explore how to engineer momentum. Our cover star, Databricks’ Shiv Trisal – alongside partners Zeb, Celebal, Tredence, Kinaxis and Sigma Computing – reveals how AI accelerates industrial transformation. But speed requires a solid foundation. Experts from GFT Technologies explain why rapid digital supply chains fundamentally rely on trust, and we look at Porsche’ s journey to become leaner and future-proof. We also explore the ultimate test of agility: manufacturing for the World Cup, plus how Apple and Ford are rapidly scaling new tech. The future is moving fast and I hope these pages help you keep pace.
