Mapping MT Demand Top industries and tech trends from AMT’s Global Tech Centers. BY EDWARD CHRISTOPHER | VICE PRESIDENT, GLOBAL SERVICES ACHILLES ARBEX | SENIOR DIRECTOR, GLOBAL SERVICES

Manufacturing technology (MT) is the engine behind strong economies, national security, and public well-being. It drives innovation in everything from clean energy and defense systems to medical devices and transportation. Around the world, countries investing in advanced manufacturing create high-quality jobs, resilient supply chains, and the tools needed to protect and care for their citizens. Simply put, MT is essential for their prosperity, health, and a more secure and sustainable future. Regions eager to develop their manufacturing base and reap its rewards, like Latin America, India, China, Southeast Asia, and Europe, offer U.S. builders of MT exciting and dynamic business opportunities.
