Shaping the future of UK manufacturing
The future of manufacturing might be driven by technology, but it will be powered by people.
So we work with industry to generate and implement human-led solutions that enable UK manufacturers to embrace digitalisation with confidence.
Our research and resources help industry partners adopt new technologies effectively, ethically and sustainably, giving them a competitive advantage in the global marketplace.
Why
we
exist
We’re here to support the entire UK manufacturing network in adopting digital technology using a people-led approach.
Through rigorous research and testing, we’ve unearthed valuable insights and developed practical tools that foster digital engagement – driving sustainable, ethical and effective digital transformation journeys.
Together, we can cultivate a manufacturing ecosystem in which digital integration enhances productivity, competitiveness and job satisfaction – working as well for your people as it does for your business.
