Countries that invest in robotics, AI and machine tools will set the marginal cost of production across large parts of the manufacturing space. This in turn will determine national economic competitiveness globally, and by extension, trade balances and currency control. Managing the geopolitics associated with these will demand new forms of diplomacy. Eschewing dependencies emerging from relative uncompetitiveness will require greater focus on R&D. Emerging economies like India must come to terms with the fact that it will remain dependent on China if it does not develop a full technology-industrial stack. From the technology standpoint, it will have to cover lithography machines, chips, foundational LLMs, advanced applications, machine tools, industrial robots and engineering software. From the traditional manufacturing space, it must control natural resources that feed every part of the manufacturing supply chain. Vertical and horizontal integration becomes an economic and eventually, political necessity when China sets the competition frontier with advanced technologies. This requires a new and comprehensive industrial policy driven by seamless coordination across ministries. Full spectrum 21st century industrialization cannot be done piecemeal. Democracies will find it difficult to adapt, but they will have to if they wish to derisk and maintain both sovereignty and the control of critical economic variables.
