Robotics & Automation Sector Meetup
This event will bring together the sector for expert talks, networking, and a look ahead to 2025.

About this event
This event kicked-off techUK's new Robotics & Automation technologies sprint campaign. Please visit the link or contact rory.daniels@techUK.org for more information.
The UK has a strong and diverse Robotics & Automation sector spanning private companies, Government, academia, and the third sector. This has resulted in the creation of world-leading companies such as Ocado Technology and high rates of adoption across sectors such as manufacturing and defence.
Despite this, the UK still has a long way to go if it’s to harnesses the potential of these technologies to drive improvements in productivity, living standards, and economic growth.
The potential to do so is immense. For example, Oxford Economics estimates that a 30% boost in robot installations is projected to add $4.9 trillion to the global economy by 2030.
Only through collaboration across disciplines, sectors, and technologies such as AI and Immersive can the UK unleash the potential of its Robotics & Automation sector and realise the subsequent benefits.
As such, this event will bring together the sector to meet, socialise over pizza and drinks, explore opportunities for collaboration in 2025, and learn more about techUK's upcoming Robotics & Automation sprint campaign.
Attendees can also expect to hear from and meet expert speakers who will set out the key trends and technologies industry can expect to encounter in the year ahead. These will be announced in due course.
