About this event

In partnership with Sage, our report explores how automation, AI, and digital technologies can transform UK manufacturing.

In August we published a report exploring how automation, AI, and digital technologies are reshaping manufacturing worldwide, and what the UK can learn.

Join this one-hour online session to learn:

  • Why the UK currently ranks 24th in global robotics density, and what that means for competitiveness
  • Best practices from global leaders like South Korea, Singapore, and Switzerland in how they've tailored innovation support to empower SMEs
  • Key barriers in the UK - fragmented support, complex funding, digital skills shortages and actionable recommendations to overcome them
  • The opportunity: unlocking as much as £150 billion in GDP by 2035 through stronger automation & digital adoption


Why attend?
This roadmap is essential for manufacturers, technology providers, policymakers and training bodies wanting to accelerate innovation, improve margins, create higher-skilled jobs, and build sustainability into UK manufacturing.
