Abstract

At the MTC's 2018 Digitalising Manufacturing Conference, the IET spoke to several industry experts about the steps that SMEs can take to put themselves on the path towards digital transformation.

This includes learning from others that have already been succeeding in the digital space, having a clear focus and asking the right questions. 

In this video, we also hear about the types of support that's in place for SMEs, the challenges that are still being faced and the benefits that digitalisation brings.
