Business Link Yorkshire, Leeds manufacturing and a number of other partners combined to present a stimulating “Looking To The Future” event hosted by Electronics Yorkshire.
Two outstanding and thought-provoking speakers enabled representatives of regional companies to learn how innovation can be used to gain a competitive edge.
Barry Dodd, CEO of GSM Group and Council Member Yorkshire Innovation, used real life examples, rather than text book theory, to demonstrate the role of innovation in growing a business. He emphasised the importance of the value chain and the supply chain as sources of opportunity for innovation and growth.
David Bott from the Technology Strategy Board, looked at the future of manufacturing and how the use of competitive funding is driving research and development to help solve some of the most pressing problems facing society.
