Industrial Supply Chain Forum
Supporting small businesses and their workers in the industrial transformation
Launched in 2024, Next Street’s Industrial Supply Chain Forum promotes dialogue and action to strengthen the small businesses and workers that anchor America’s supply chains and communities.
The Forum brings together leaders across sectors to translate America’s reindustrialization into tangible outcomes for small businesses, workers, and communities. Through stakeholder convenings, applied research, and pilot initiatives, we advance practical solutions that strengthen small businesses and build more resilient supply chains.

Catalyzing the Moment
Trillions in public and private capital are reshaping America’s industrial landscape, financing local infrastructure in communities and reinvesting in U.S. manufacturing. Small businesses are essential to supplying critical industries and restoring our capacity to build and make things here in America.
The Forum advances solutions to strengthen the systems that enable small businesses to compete and grow in industrial supply chains.
