About the session

Topic Two: Mechanisms and support

Digital Manufacturing is already here - but is your business ready to take full advantage and be at the forefront of this exciting new era?

This year's sell-out Digitalising Manufacturing Conference took place on 30th & 31st October 2017. Expanded to two days, the conference addressed international collaboration opportunities, national policy as well as practical knowledge to drive industrial digitalisation from within UK value chains. 

There was a real buzz this year with many issues discussed and solutions put forward on how to meet the challenges of digitalising manufacturing, and it was great to see so many delegates looking to discuss the opportunities that industrial digitalisation holds.
