We are on the brink of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), which will overhaul manufacturing over the years to come with a heady mix of big data, virtual worlds and emerging technology.
To grow your business, you’ll need to adapt to succeed in this emerging global economy. Not only your core technical capabilities, but you will also need to modernise how you market your business and position yourselves to reach and influence 4IR customers.
Attendees will be given the opportunity to hear from guest speakers from the Digital Catapult (North East & Tees Valley), The Expanded Metal Company and Unipres. They will discuss what new approaches they have adopted to transform their marketing strategies for the 4IR. During the session you will hear from:
