New Generation of Industry Leaders

The New Generation of Industry Leaders (NGIL) is a global program designed to foster private-public collaboration, industry insights & thought leadership across three key areas - emerging technology, people centric transformation, and sustainable operations.

NGIL aims to inspire the next generation of leaders in manufacturing & supply chains by leaning into emerging technology to advance sustainable solutions with people at the center. 

Industrial leaders face common challenges: an aging workforce, evolving technologies, sustainability demands, diversity needs, reputation issues, and industry misconceptions. A new leadership approach is crucial to address these complex issues in an unpredictable environment.

Revitalizing these industries and maximizing their societal impact requires challenging established norms and decisive leadership.
