MTC Digitalising Manufacturing Conference 2019

Organiser

The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC)

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

Over the last four years the Digitalising Manufacturing Conference has grown to become one of the key dates in the manufacturing calendar, with the emphasis evolving from technology through collaboration to people and the concept that digitalisation is not an end goal but a journey. Join us on the 4th & 5th November 2019 for our fifth annual conference, and gain the know-how you need from worldwide leading experts.

This year we're making digital a reality. We've partnered with Made Smarter to bring you a two-day conference that will address international collaboration opportunities, national policy as well as practical knowledge to drive industrial digitalisation from within UK value chains. Under the stewardship of Juergen Maier, chief executive of Siemens UK, day one will focus on policy, international, national and industry perspectives, while on day two we'll look at moving forwards and putting plans into action - addressing the 'what?' and 'how?' questions surrounding digital manufacturing.

We’ll review the continued progress of the Made Smarter initiative and other mechanisms, and we’ll be keeping the international aspect of the conference too – focusing on what we can learn from Germany, Sweden and other key players, and how the UK can use this information to make quick progress on the digitalisation journey.

This year our focus is on making digital a reality. So new for Digitalising Manufacturing 2019 we will be introducing the MTC’s Digital Experience. Held on day two of the conference, the entire ground floor of our venue will be transformed into our largest digital manufacturing exhibition yet.

Client testimonials

Without the Growth Hubs help and assistance, we would never have been able to increase our sales & output and also grow our local business. With this help in purchasing new equipment we have expanded our operations and gained a new and increased customer base.

Nuneaton Roof Truss,

Over the past few years, Armstrongs has built up a fantastic relationship with Gary Thyeson from the Growth Hub. His advice on grants and funding has been really valuable to both Armstrongs and some of our clients. His knowledge of local business support has been helpful in signposting us to relevant support agencies as required. We look forward to working with Laura Delahunty moving forwards.

MES Systems Limited,

I have had an excellent experience working with Laura from the Growth Hub, from day one, she was taking detailed attention to my concerns and ideas. She was able to put me in contact with different organisations and people to find out answers to my questions and help me to solve some inquiries I was having. I feel this support definitely had a positive impact in my plans. 

 

PALACIOS LTD,

It’s been a fantastic inaugural eight months for the TalentTech Recruitment team and, although the reality of setting up and running a company can be a somewhat daunting experience, we have been extremely grateful for the superb help, advice and guidance given to us along our journey by Gavin Barnett and the team at CW Growth Hub. Gavin’s introductions to both Warwick & Coventry Universities and his wider business network have been absolutely invaluable.

Burbidge & Son Ltd,

Over the years since the Growth Hub was set up we have habitually gone to our Account Manager as a one-stop shop for all business-related information.  It has been a really convenient way of finding suppliers, advisors and, on one occasion, we even asked for assistance with finding customers.  We are invited to a wide range of business events including business development workshops, Brexit roundtable discussions, seminars on various topics and have also been asked to speak at some events.  When we have needed additional information, for example, finding finance sources or help with selecti
