The proliferation of data centers, coupled with an anticipated surge in domestic manufacturing, is driving electricity demand to unprecedented levels.

Concurrently, the power generation sector is confronted with significant supply chain disruptions, particularly in the realm of gas turbines and their components, that could jeopardize the reliability and capacity of our energy infrastructure.

The purpose of this workshop is to identify innovations in materials and manufacturing to bridge the gap between demand and supply, while adhering to the highest standards of performance and efficiency.
