The smart manufacturing sector has experienced significant growth over the course of the last few years, as various industries continue to adopt new technologies in the hunt for maximum efficiency.

However, manufacturers’ supply chains have faced unprecedented disruption with the combination of the UK leaving the EU and the global pandemic, sitting alongside rocketing cost of transport, energy and raw materials. This disruptive cocktail has forced businesses to dramatically review their supply chain arrangements at speed, and explore which industry leading technologies can be harnessed to achieve company-wide agility.

This Tech Monitor webinar, in partnership with Infor, will explore how manufacturers of all sizes can realise the benefits of increased digitisation, connectivity and automation at a time of unparalleled disruption.

  • Is volatility the new normal for the global manufacturing industry?
  • Which technologies are manufacturers adopting to build resilience in their global supply chains?
  • How can technology adoption be effectively paired with strategy?
  • How can manufacturers incorporate advanced analytics into their supply chain operations?
  • What does future hold for smart manufacturing?

Overview

Costa Rica, LATAM’s most sought-after nearshoring destination, is quickly gaining awareness as the prime location for the development of life-centred solutions. Additional to its already established world-class ecosystem of leading OEM’s and manufacturers in the life sciences industry, the country is now also leading the bio-revolution for new materials and nutraceuticals, and boosting circular economies.

Bolstering an astounding 60% of forest coverage, 6% of the world’s biodiversity and 99% of its electricity coming from renewable resources, its natural availability of raw materials (and human talent) is unmatched; transforming organic fibers and fruit waste to beauty products and building materials such as bricks, is already a reality in the country.

This webinar will address how and why Costa Rica is leading this new bio-revolution, and much more, directly from the success stories of Yellow Pallet, Kokora & Tropical Matter; companies already established and prospering in the country.

Digital: The new frontiers of digital innovation

The pandemic forced organisations that had dragged their heels to catch up with digitisation.

Integrating security into IT operations

In the traditional model of IT management, dedicated security teams focused on defending the organisation’s ‘perimeter’, while IT operations managed systems and devices behind the firewall. But that perimeter is no more. Core business applications are hosted in the cloud, and workers are connecting to the business from their home networks, often with their own devices.

This calls for more integrated IT and security operations. When every system, device or network connection is a potential entry point for cybercriminals, security checks and protocols must be embedded into all IT operations.

But how can organisations achieve this most effectively?

In a roundtable supported by Intel, Tech Monitor will convene IT operations managers and decision makers to share their insight and experience.

Topics for discussion include:

  • Securing hybrid work
  • Device selection and management
  • IT operations tools, platforms, and processes
  • Skills and collaboration

Agenda:

  • 18:30- attendees arrive; drinks and canapés
  • 19:15- introduction by TechMonitor
  • 19:30- expert talk and discussion
  • 19:45- dinner is served
  • 21:00- Q&A and discussion
  • 22:30- carriages

DAY 4 – Tuesday 25th October 2022

Technology at the heart of the net zero revolution:

The tech sector has the extraordinary potential to unlock renewable energy systems at scale. According to some estimates, digital technologies could help reduce global carbon emissions by up to 15% – one-third of the 50% required by 2030. While the exponential growth of new technologies is accelerating net zero progress, the energy-intensive increase in computational and manufacturing efficiency can, in turn, lead to counter-productive effects. Join us on day 4 for a close-up on the climate impacts of the tech sector, shedding light on the risks and opportunities in the tech market, and its role in the net zero revolution.

Agenda

DAY 3 – Wednesday 12th October 2022

Speeding up the energy transition:

The energy transition is more than just developing a low-carbon economy: it involves the transformation of the entire global energy system to meet net-zero targets. Against a backdrop of regulatory uncertainties and elevated energy prices, how can the private sector lead the energy transition and drive rapid change, while ensuring fair access to affordable and reliable energy for all? Day 3 will explore how companies can create robust, sustainable business models and seize the opportunities derived from a global transition to a cleaner, smarter and more resilient economy.
