Radical Collaboration:
The Key to Unlocking
Manufacturing Value
The first ever conference on the disruptive strategy
set to shape the future of global manufacturing.
16th May 2025
Royal Lancaster London
Event Overview
There is a systemic problem in global manufacturing. The established business model is having a negative impact on the financial performance of both manufacturers and the solution provider ecosystem. This situation is inefficient, ineffective and unsustainable for all parties.
A new strategic approach has the potential to release significant bottom line value. This highly disruptive concept is based on radical collaboration but will require C-Suite vision and leadership.
This global, first of its kind event will see over twenty solution providers from across the ecosystem collaborate to present a unified vision of the future of manufacturing.
Who should attend?
Manufacturing C-Suite Executives – CEO, CFO, COO, CIO/CDO/CTO
Manufacturing leadership – SVP, VP, Director and their direct reports
Private Equity – Senior Partner, Partner & Directors with manufacturing portfolios
Academia – Individuals and organisations involved in Manufacturing
Manufacturing Trade Associations
This conference applies to all manufacturing verticals including Aerospace & Defence, Automotive, Chemicals,
Consumer Packaged Goods, High Tech and Life Science
Why attend?
- Understand the scale of untapped value in global manufacturing
- Evaluate a disruptive new strategy with the potential to release significant value
- Understand its suitability for your organisation
- Hear about the UK Governments Industrial Strategy to support UK Manufacturing
- See how the UK Manufacturing sector benchmarks globally
