Steele Group and The New Industrial Corporation to co-host Road to Reindustrialize: Boston

Official precursor to the Reindustrialize Summit 3.0 to convene leading biotech, defense, and capital operators at BASE-X on April 14

BOSTON, MA, March 31, 2025 — Steele Group, the integrated commercial real estate and infrastructure firm behind some of the country's most demanding industrial environments, today announced that it will co-host Road to Reindustrialize: Boston with The New Industrial Corporation on April 14, 2025 at BASE-X, the firm's deep tech headquarters in Downtown Boston. The convening is the official Boston precursor to the Reindustrialize Summit 3.0, taking place June 16–17 in Detroit.

The half-day program brings together the operators, investors, and policy leaders driving the rebuild of America's industrial base — from biomanufacturing and biosecurity to defense manufacturing, autonomous systems, and the capital structures required to scale them.

Two flagship panels will anchor the agenda:

Biotech as the New Industrial Base — Biomanufacturing, Biosecurity & the Case for Reshoring

• Jacob Becraft — Co-Founder & CEO, Strand Therapeutics
• Steve Favaloro — Chairman & CEO, Genezen
• Jason Kelly — Co-Founder & CEO, Ginkgo Bioworks

Building the Arsenal of Democracy — Defense Manufacturing, Autonomous Systems & the Capital Behind It

• Alexander Harstrick — Managing Partner & Co-Founder, J2 Ventures
• Sertac Karaman — Founder, Tycho.AI; Director, MIT Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS)
• Austin Gray — Co-Founder & Chief Strategy Officer, Blue Water Autonomy

"Reindustrialization is not a panel topic — it is the defining work of this generation," said Steele Divitto, Founder & CEO of Steele Group. "Boston has the research, the capital, and the operator talent to lead it, and BASE-X exists to put those forces in the same room. April 14 is about turning that proximity into momentum heading into Detroit."

Road to Reindustrialize: Boston is co-organized with Gregory M. Bernstein and The New Industrial Corporation as part of the broader Reindustrialize movement. Attendance is by approval. Interested investors, operators, and policymakers can request to join at luma.com/66au5yjd.
