The world as we know it has simultaneously changed and remained constant. Business leaders and organisations have had to rapidly adapt to doing business in the context of Covid-19 while protecting employees and customers.

It has never been so important for companies to come together to discuss and find innovative solutions to some of the most disruptive challenges to face the manufacturing sector.
