Why it matters
The advanced manufacturing context.
The Advanced Manufacturing category captures the industrial backbone of the AI build-out: hyperscale compute campuses, advanced semiconductor packaging, robotaxi assembly, and the equipment makers serving the chip-fab boom. Electrical power capacity and large-transformer availability — not capital — are now the limiting reagents for new sites of this type.
