As part of our Supercharging UK Innovation campaign, techUK’s new Industries of the Future Series will explore how emerging and enabling technologies are transforming key industries around the world, assess the challenges and opportunities for UK businesses, and consider what more we can do to accelerate adoption of innovative technologies. 

This event, held in partnership with Make UK, will explore the impact of cloud and edge computing, AI, and IoT in the manufacturing sector, highlight the challenges and opportunities for UK businesses, and consider how we can accelerate digital transformation in UK manufacturing.

From automation and process optimisation to data analytics, digital twins, predictive maintenance and logistics management, the opportunities for a more agile, efficient and productive manufacturing sector are significant. Technology can also play a huge role in helping manufacturing businesses operate more sustainably. However, barriers to digital transformation continue to hold back UK manufacturing, including skills and access to investment.

Register for this session on 29 March and join us to discuss all these issue and more!  

Speakers will include:

  • Nina Gryf, Senior Policy Manager, Make UK
  • Brian Lappin, Head of Product Management, BT
  • Julian Wiggins, Solutions Director, Rackspace Technology
  • Marcus Bonner, Chief Technologist, Hewlett Packard Enterprise
