Digital Manufacturing Week Event Guide

Made Smarter Innovation is a national programme to help businesses that make things capitalise on new digital technologies. Our programme will support the transformation of the UK’s manufacturing capabilities through the development and innovation of industrial digital technologies (IDTs). We give UK manufacturers access to a digital innovation ecosystem that helps prove their idea, quickly develop it with experts and scale it. The partnership between government and industry will provide co-investment, specialist advice and result in radical manufacturing solutions. This Made Smarter Innovation programme is delivered by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).

Digital Manufacturing Week is a national festival of advanced manufacturing which every year attracts thousands of manufacturers, industry leaders, and technology providers.  This is a great opportunity for us to demonstrate what is happening across the Made Smarter Innovation programme, now and in the future.  We’re excited to showcase an amazing line-up of innovative technology solution providers in Innovation Alley, early-stage innovations in the Emerging Technology Show and a fantastic lineup of speakers at the Made Smarter Innovation Summit.

Made Smarter Innovation is delighted to be part of Digital Manufacturing Week 2021 in Liverpool. At this event, we will support organisations in the manufacturing sector at all levels on their digital journey. We are hosting and supporting several activities during this year’s event including the:
