Manufacturing & Supply Chain Expo 2022
T
he decline of the UK manufacturing industry has been overstated. Although no longer the global leader,
the UK is currently the world’s eighth largest industrial nation and could well become a top five player by 2023. Employing 2.7 million people and accounting for 45% of the UK’s total exports, the manufacturing industry contributes 11% of annual GVA (gross value added), provides 13% of business investment and represents 69% of business R&D (research and development). However, a cloud of uncertainty due to Covid, Brexit and the possibility of trade wars prompting a global economic recession is hanging over the industry and impacting on investment decisions. What is certain is that just as Britain pioneered the industrial revolution, it will also play a key role in shaping the digital technology that is radically transforming the nature of manufacturing and its associated supply chain.
National forum
The Manufacturing & Supply Chain Conference & Exhibition being held at the Arena MK in Milton Keynes on March 10th 2022 will serve as a national forum for manufacturers and operators involved throughout the associated supply chains from across the UK, to

It is now firmly established as a must-attend annual event, which successfully connects key stakeholders across the full spectrum of British manufacturing, including aerospace, automotive, chemical & pharmaceutical, construction, defence, electronics, energy, food & drink, nuclear, plastics, security, steel, space and textiles. In addition to Covid, Brexit and the global trading environment, other issues high on the agenda at the event include the challenges and opportunities provided by constantly changing customer demands, the rapid pace of technological advances in areas such as Artificial Intelligence, machine learning and robotics, along with heightening environmental concerns and intensifying competition, both domestically and in international markets. Premier Publishing & Events has assembled an impressive line-up of manufacturing leaders, academics and government agencies who will engage in a stimulating blend of key note addresses and debates. The event will also feature an extensive exhibition showcasing the latest technological solutions and business services.
