This event will look at opportunities for digital transformation within the Leicester and Leicestershire supply chain. We will explore what this will mean for different industries and how they can learn from other sectors.
The event schedule will largely focus on the region’s strong legacy in the industries of ‘Food and Drink’ and ‘Fashion and Textiles’; exploring opportunities to shape digital transformation requirements which could revolutionise and grow these sectors and their supply chains. The event will also highlight how businesses can work with universities to achieve these goals.
Speakers at the event will include industry ‘thought leaders’, SMEs with exciting innovations of interest and academic researchers with relevant expertise.
