The energy transition is no longer driven solely by cleaner generation technologies; it is increasingly defined by the intelligence, resilience, and strategic control embedded within energy systems. As governments, utilities, infrastructure operators, and industrial stakeholders respond to rising electricity demand, supply chain volatility, and dec...

The increasing volatility of global supply chains is driving interest in microfactories and distributed manufacturing. Manufacturers aim to improve production flexibility, reduce reliance on lengthy logistics routes, and enhance resilience in times of disruption. Traditionally, manufacturing networks have been optimized for centralized production, ...

Critical raw materials (CRMs) are raw materials that are economically and strategically important for a country or region but have high risks associated with their supply. Criticality depends on various factors, and what counts as critical from a particular standpoint might not be the same from another standpoint. For instance, what might be critic...
