December 2013


Starting from: £99 + VAT
Format: DOWNLOADABLE PDF


This seminar brought together key stakeholders with policymakers to discuss what more Government can do to support growth, productivity and environmental sustainability across key manufacturing sectors in the UK. It was scheduled to assess implications arising from the conclusion of Foresight's The Future of Manufacturing: a new era of opportunity and challenge for the UK report published in October 2013, which set out evidence and analysis on long-term challenges and risks for UK manufacturing between now and 2050. Bringing together industry representatives from a variety of relevant industries - such as automotive, energy, electronics, pharmaceutical and aerospace - alongside investors, enterprise partnerships, consultants and academics, sessions focused on key issues in the Foresight report and future priorities for Government policy in this area, looking in particular at the challenges ahead for supporting investment, innovation, exports and skills.
