Early-stage investing is essential: The vast majority of technology and interoperability needed to drive this massive AI-led industrial transformation is still emerging. Domain-specific investors and informed industrial partners are key for implementation
RESHORING & REINDUSTRIALIZATION
US and Japanese Reindustrialization investments are forecast to exceed $2 trillion over the next three years and with continued acceleration from there.
Rapid advances in Cloud and Edge AI, ML, digital twins, robotics and advanced automation will form the foundation for this massive transformation.
PHYSICAL AIx & COMPUTE
AI is making the leap from bits to atoms. Physical AI, Generative AI, Agentic AI and AI infrastructure (Cloud, OnPrem and Edge compute) are the foundational layers for the exascale disruption of the existing and future industrial base.
HUMAN FACTORS & EFFICIENCY
A super productive workforce aligned with AIx-driven business processes will be required to fully realize the value of reindustrialization investments. In a world facing a critical shortage of skilled labor, AI is expected to contribute $6.6T in increased productivity to the global economy by 2030.
ENERGY & ADVANCED MATERIALS
Electrification, data centers and reindustrialization will drive 650 TWh of new energy demand in the US by 20301. Investment in the supply of energy supply and natural resources extraction exceeded $1.5T in 2025 (WEF). Renewable integration, diversification of energy sources and grid management is critical for revitalizing and reshoring essential industries.
The AIx driven Industrial Revolution will create unparalleled early-stage investment opportunities. SIP seeks to generate exceptional returns by investing in and supporting those companies, teams and technologies capable of dominating this global transformation.
