The federal government is moving to rebuild America’s shipbuilding capacity and maritime industrial base, and the Pacific Northwest is positioning itself to lead. This session convenes voices from across the region’s maritime ecosystem to discuss how Washington and the broader PNW are preparing for a new wave of opportunity. Speakers will discuss strategies for expanding shipyard capacity, growing the skilled workforce, navigating regulation, and scaling between commercial and defense work. With new federal tools like Maritime Prosperity Zones on the horizon, panelists will explore what it will take to turn national ambition into regional jobs, vessels, and investment.
