UK, Investment DestinationThis session brings together leading global companies that have invested in the UK to discuss the benefits, challenges and future development of manufacturing industries in the UK. Company leaders will explain that the UK has world-leading capabilities in advanced engineering; from advanced materials to manufacturing technology. Company decision-makers recognise that the UK's lead in manufacturing is well-established and build on that distinguished legacy by continuing to develop pioneering products and technologies that are sold all over the world.
Automotive Industrial Strategy: Industry and Government in Partnership The UK automotive sector has recovered strongly from the global financial crisis, with record volumes and significant global exports. At the heart of this success is the Automotive Council, a pioneering collaboration between government and industry, which collaboratively sets a long term agenda for the future of the sector. This session features the co-Chairs of the Council and leading automotive executives articulating how the Industrial Strategy is making the UK the leading destination in Europe for automotive FDI and guaranteeing further growth.
Programme Overview
How British excellence in film technology can
inspire creativity in industry
The Creative Industries Sectors are at the heart of UK innovation
and screen businesses such as film, TV and animation are leading
the way through visual effects, 3D and 4K technology. This sessions
brings together multi award winning film makers who will be
discussing and showcasing the UK’s leading position in this area of
innovation and how it is being used across industry to support
technological developments in the future design and developments
of products.
Game-Changing Technologies - towards a Third
Industrial Revolution
New technologies like 3D printing, and intelligent mobility, are
creating exciting new businesses, new business-models, and new
strategic industries. This session brings together innovation-intensive
multinationals and small businesses, strategy-gurus and thought-
leaders to give their perspectives on the radical new models of
distributed manufacturing, power generation, and (car) ownership
that this increasingly rapid change enables. Discover how
partnership with the UK can help you take advantage of the coming
industrial revolution!
How trade negotiations can open up a world of
opportunities for your business
The session will underline that not only does more trade mean more
economic growth overall, but makes it easier to do business (e.g.
encouraging the use of international standards for industrial
products, reduces the costs of doing business and opens up new
export markets). High profile business figures will outline how they
have benefitted from the EU’s trade agenda, thereby making the
case for both open markets and the UK’s continued membership of
the EU. They will be able to give concrete examples of where the U
K’s push within the EU for trade liberalisation has opened up new
opportunities and improved the overall trading climate.
