Technological unlocks and political mandates to reshore manufacturing in the US have created tailwinds for robotic automation with a projected market size of $375.82bn by 2035. This means that as frontier technologies such as humanoid robotics, FSD cars, autonomous construction, AgTech and drone applications get commercialized, our portfolio is positioned to not just be necessary, but essential, for relieving bottlenecks within those value chains.
We invest in hardware-first solutions across three core focus areas:
BY 2050,151 countries will have under 2.1 children per woman.By 2100, 183 countries will be below healthy replacement levels, and 23 countries will see their populations decline by more than 50%.
Hazardous yet essential labor in sectors like manufacturing, construction, mining, utilities maintenance, are not receiving qualified workers to buttress the shortfall as blue collar workers age into retirement.
