Event overview:
Ensuring your business remains successful in a changing marketplace means identifying and integrating the best of the new available technologies, refining your core systems, and generally building a more efficient, future-ready business. But when there is a multitude of new technologies arriving, how do you choose the ones that truly transform your business, and make sure you back the VHS over the Betamax?
The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) is the Government-funded entity tasked with assisting businesses to make these decisions based on their individual circumstances and needs, and as they are not affiliated with any manufacturers, their academic-led analysis is truly independent.
Join us for an insightful morning with Steve Morris from the MTC who will cover:
- Real-world case studies of successful technology adoption in businesses
- Integrating new technologies into existing systems and processes
- Practical insights to guide confident, strategic technology decisions
- How to access grants and funding to support digital transformation
