The second UK Northern Powerhouse International Conference and Exhibition will be held in Manchester this week.
Taking place over February 21 and 22, an Advisory Board will also be chaired by Lord Kerslake at Manchester Central Convention Complex.
According to organisers, the conference has also become an 鈥渁ggregator鈥� for the work being done on the Northern Powerhouse by many other bodies.
It will provide a platform for businesses to access the Northern Powerhouse Partnership, led by George Osborne MP.
The event offers attendees the chance to understand the scale and extent of the opportunities in the Northern Powerhouse; listen and learn from public and private sector leaders; and gain valuable insights into the vision and ambitions of many 鈥淏lue Chip鈥� businesses.
老九品茶Cloud鈥檚 next event will take place on March 7, and will look at the use of technology in manufacturing.
The UK鈥檚 manufacturers have been tasked with becoming the engine room of the country鈥檚 post-Brexit economy.
A weak pound, rising energy prices, increases in the cost of raw materials and general political uncertainty have led to businesses looking towards technology as the catalyst for increased productivity and efficiency gains.
When the Bank of England Governor Mark Carney predicted that 15 million British jobs could be replaced by robots, the world took notice – but manufacturers have been leading the way in automation for years.
The breakfast event is sponsored by DLA Piper and Jumpstart and runs from 7.30 to 9.30am. Join the discussion on Twitter at #manufacturingtech.
