The nation has a long history of low productivity. Labour productivity has stagnated since the last global financial crisis of 2009 and the record of the UK is now one of the worst in the OECD. This is despite some of our regions being among the most productive in the developed world, highlighting stark regional differences across the country: some estimates show that London’s productivity is about 30% higher than the UK average, and 50% more than that in Yorkshire and the East Midlands. How can we effectively tackle the skills gap to help boost regional productivity? What effective solutions are out there that can improve social mobility and help us build back from the pandemic? Can investing in green job opportunities boost recovery and help ensure a resilient, long-term economic growth? How can the UK reach its productivity potential?Join us on Tuesday, 1st November at QEII, Conference Centre Westminster in London to hear from policymakers and industry experts as they discuss the crucial role of skills in delivering the levelling up agenda and improving productivity in underperforming areas. From coordinating an effective skills strategy to boosting digital skills, they will explore how we can address discrepancies between UK regions and communities, and build a resilient economy for our future generations.

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.
