UK Manufacturing Forum: Building the Pathway
At the second UK Manufacturing Forum event in December last year, we set a clear agenda for Government, academia and research technology organisations as we collaborate to drive forward the industrial strategy.
Following the success of that event, we would be delighted if you could join us on 8th July at the IET, Savoy Place London. Hear from Professor Sam Turner, Chief Technology Officer of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult and Professor Tim Minshall, Head of the Institute for Manufacturing, on the progress made since the last UK Manufacturing Forum in the areas of Digital Manufacturing, Metrology, Additive Manufacturing and Composites Manufacturing and how we can work together to pull through the additional technologies that will underpin a sustainable high value manufacturing future for the UK.
The event will bring together leading academics, senior figures from industry, government and the HVM Catapult to explore both emerging trends and opportunities for collaboration across the national manufacturing ecosystem. It will provide an opportunity to map priorities and chart our next steps as well as networking with colleagues and peers in the concluding drinks reception.
