The FutureScope Smart Manufacturing Launch

Date: 17 August 2022 14:30 - 17 August 2022 16:30

Manufacturing challenges? The solution is smart.

Come and hear from leaders in the smart manufacturing sector and witness what smart manufacturing could do for your business and clients.

 

Come and join leading UK innovation centre Digital Catapult, on the first step in a five-year journey to develop smart manufacturing in Northern Ireland.

During this in-person event on Wednesday 17 August Digital Catapult will be hosting a live, interactive briefing session on the FutureScope Smart Manufacturing Programme, as part of the Smart Nano NI consortium.

This event will offer you the chance to hear from leaders in the smart manufacturing sector and to see what smart manufacturing could do for your business and your clients.

It will also give you the opportunity to understand the criteria, application process and ask questions about the FutureScope Smart Manufacturing Experiment, a 12-week series of accessible learning sessions which will help you to gain the necessary skills and knowledge to introduce the technologies, tools and techniques of Industry 4.0 in your workplace. You also have the opportunity to request a one-to-one briefing session with one of Digital Catapult Northern Ireland’s innovation team to see how this initiative could work for you and your business.

Digital Catapult is seeking applications for Experiment from manufacturing businesses through an Open Call which will run from 2 August to 13 September.
