The Manufacturer Smart Factory Expo is the UK’s biggest showcase for advanced technology and systems, presenting the latest in business agility, innovation and thinking.

The event, in partnership with government, world-class industry professionals and expert solution providers, provides attendees and exhibitors with a platform to discuss, collaborate and grow in the age of industrial digitisation.

The two-day event brings together six Technology Zones:

  • Automation & Robotics
  • Industrial Internet
  • Additive Manufacturing
  • Digital Transformation
  • Big Data
  • Servitization

With conversations focused around visitor’s needs, each Technology Zone has its own dedicated Solutions Theatre, offering exhibitors the ability to engage directly with attendees. At the same time, these discussion forums allow visitors to hear knowledge and best practice advice from thought-leaders in their respective sectors.

For the first time this year, Smart Factory Expo will include an Innovation Alley, a dedicated space for visitors to experience cutting-edge innovation from both start-ups and established players alike. Additionally, Buyers Lounges and Mentor Clinics offer prime meeting spaces where sellers can engage directly with potential clients, and buyers can seek guidance.

Smart Factory Expo will welcome more than 6,000 senior executives and decision-makers representing every sector within UK manufacturing, and businesses of all sizes.
