The Infrastructure Driving Next-Gen Drones, UxVs, and Robotics

For the past year, this summit has been about Physical AI broadly — robotics, embodied intelligence, meeting the real world. Austin 2026 sharpens that focus into something the industry has been missing:

🎯 Autonomy Supply Chain — From Factory Floor to Autonomous Fleet

Every drone, every ground robot, every autonomous vehicle is only as good as the supply chain behind it. The next trillion-dollar wave of Physical AI won't be won on algorithms alone — it will be won by whoever builds the manufacturing, sourcing, and industrial base to actually produce these machines at scale. Austin 2026 is where that conversation happens.

What's new:

📊 F50 UxV and Supply Chain Report

— our deep-dive mapping where UxV, robotics, and autonomy manufacturing capacity is actually being built across North America. Coming soon in the fall → f50.ai/r26-supplychain

🔗 Supply Chain as a Service

— a new F50 program connecting UxV and hardware companies directly with vetted manufacturing, sourcing, and supply chain partners. Preview → f50.ai/scas

🤝 UxV Showcase Floor

Built for builders and buyers — UxV OEMs, component makers, contract manufacturers, and growing-stage startups,

Why this matters:

Austin 2026 is where UxV companies and supply chain companies meet in the same room — not two separate conversations, but one connected ecosystem. If you build drones, ground robots, or autonomous systems, this is where you find the partners who can actually manufacture and scale your product. If you build or run supply chain infrastructure — sourcing, components, contract manufacturing — this is where you find the customers who need you.

Air, Land, Sea

📣 Calling UxV builders and global supply chain companies:

We are actively inviting supply chain companies from around the world — not just Texas, not just the U.S. particularly from Mexico, Japan, Taiwan, Korean— to bring your capabilities to Austin this December. Whether you're a contract manufacturer, a component supplier, or a sourcing partner, the room in Austin is where UxV builders are looking for you.

Beyond the Main Stage

Supply Chain as a Service

A dedicated track exploring how supply chain infrastructure is being reimagined as a scalable service layer — empowering UxV innovators to build faster without owning the entire stack.
