The Future of UK Manufacturing Join us for the CBI Future of UK Manufacturing conference on 5 May at the University of Warwick where we'll be sharing new analysis and outlining the CBI agenda to ensure businesses have the tools and know-how to remain fit for the future.

We will be joined by the Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP, Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills who will share insights on what the government is doing to support UK manufacturing as well as industry experts including Jonathan Duck, CEO of Amtico, Brian Holliday, Divisional Director at Siemens and Sue Graham-Johnston, Managing Director of BOC to discuss how digital technology is being used to transform the UK manufacturing industry.

We will also be joined by technology experts who will share their inside knowledge of new, cutting-edge technologies; how they have helped manufacturers adapt to change; and how they can help your business stay ahead of the game.
