Each Month members of the Made Smarter team will be hosting Bite-sized Broadcasts, live on LinkedIn. The broadcast will aim to help manufacturing SMEs in the North West understand what our programme has to offer.

The 30-minute lunchtime sessions will feature our technology team, as well as manufacturers who have benefitted from Made Smarter grants and digital skills training.

Each informative session will cover more about Made Smarter, getting your business started with digital transformation, the common challenges faced by SME manufacturers, as well as an opportunity for Q&As from the audience.
