Creating opportunities from uncertainty: navigating industrial emergence
Industrial Symposium: 24th and 25th September 2009, Downing College, Cambridge, UK

- CEO taking the wider view of the emerging technology landscape
- Technical/Business Director needing insight into technology development
- Manufacturing Director/Manager wishing to integrate technology
- management into decision processes
