Reindustrialize 2.0 Coming to Detroit
Reindustrialize 2.0 Returns to Detroit
Designing America and the founders of Reindustrialize proudly announce Reindustrialize 2.0, the premier summit convening visionaries in technology, manufacturing and policy. The event will take place July 16-17, 2025, at Hudson’s Detroit on Woodward Avenue. Detroit has the legacy of being the epicenter of American manufacturing, and today, it is leading the charge in Reindustrialization, where technology and industry converge to shape the future.
ROCK, with support from Detroit Venture Partners, serves as the presenting sponsor and helped bring the event back to the city, beating out competition from multiple other American manufacturing centers.
Following the extraordinary success of the inaugural Reindustrialize last year, which attracted investors managing more than astonishing $1 trillion in investable capital, this year’s summit is poised to bring together more than 1,000 decision-makers and trailblazers dedicated to revitalizing America’s industrial base.
“Reindustrialize has become the definitive gathering for leaders committed to advancing American manufacturing,” said Kate Moon, CEO at Designing America and producer Reindustrialize. “By bringing together innovators, investors, and policymakers in Detroit – the heart of American manufacturing – we’re creating an unprecedented platform for collaboration and advancement.”
More Than a Host City
Detroit is more than the host city; it is the proving ground where bold ideas meet execution. Home to the Rock Family of Companies, Detroit is not just rebounding – it is reimagining itself. This city has become a living example of what happens when we “bet big” on innovation, investment and community. Detroit is setting the standard for how legacy industries evolve.
“Detroit has proven that big bets yield big rewards,” said Falon Donohue, Reindustrialize Co-Founder. “The relationships forged last year, including with Dan Gilbert’s ROCK Family Office, were pivotal. Dan’s vision and impact on this city have turned Detroit into a blueprint for other cities asking, ‘How do we transform our city like Detroit did?’ There is no better place to lead this national conversation on manufacturing and technology.”
“The Rock Family of Companies has been relentless in our pursuit of attracting the best and brightest to Detroit. Whether it is technology or manufacturing, our vision is clear – Detroit is a blueprint for the future,” said Cory Tincher of Detroit Venture Partners. “Reindustrialize 2.0 embodies that mindset, bringing together the most innovative minds in industry and policy to build what is next.”
