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 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.
