One thing stood out at the @Portfolio Conferences MAGE Automotive Conference last week:
everyone is moving fast — but their agenda is very different.
Some are focusing on electrification.
Others are busy with improving automation, supplier integration, or workforce transition.
And while every company seems to be solving a different part of the puzzle, one thing is clear: none of these challenges can be tackled in isolation.
That’s why research needs to be close to the conversation — not after the fact, but alongside it.
At FETI, we’re not building cars or running factories.
But we’re developing the systems — sensing, data, AI — that make those moves possible.
Being in the room with manufacturers and decision-makers helped us understand not just what needs to be built next, but why.
