Made Here Now is delighted there is such as impressive line-up of speakers for the Advanced Manufacturing Show being held from June 6-8 at Birmingham’s NEC, including many of our Phase Two sponsors.
Eight of the UK-wide initiative’s sponsors - BAE Systems, Birmingham City University, Coventry University, EEF, High Value Manufacturing Catapult, Innovate UK, Renishaw and The University of Nottingham – will be talking about the future of manufacturing, a subject very dear to our aims.
Peter Marsh, founder of Made Here Now, says: “The fact we have been working with such major players in manufacturing shows how well our initiative has been received.
“We are pleased to have been supported by so many influential organisations across different disciplines ranging from automotive engineering through to additive manufacturing as well as leading research and funding bodies.
“As Made Here Now moves into its next phase, we are always seeking more support. If you are interested in becoming involved you can find further details about the project and how to contact us here,” he added.
The sponsors giving talks at the Advanced Manufacturing Show are:
• Andy Wright, Director Strategic Technology at BAE Systems Programmes and Support on Disruptive Technologies and the terms of future manufacturing.
• Birmingham City University pairing Alan Pendry, Associate Professor of Advanced Systems Engineering, and Dr Junfeng Yang, Lecturer in Automotive Engineering, speak on Tapping into new Potential for Lightweight Components via Steam Innovation.
