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
  • Hear radical collaboration case studies from global industry thought leaders
  • Learn why future investments (including GenAI) could fail to deliver on their potential
  • Network and discuss with industry peers

This immersive, one day event follows a completely new format and includes several global ‘first of its kind’ elements. It will set the benchmark for future events.
