SUMMARY:Building resilient supply chains between the UK and Asia
DESCRIPTION:Building resilient supply chains between the UK and Asia – Automotive/Advanced Engineering\nJoin Santander for their ‘Asia supply chains’ as their in-market experts provide insights and guidance for automotive and advanced engineering companies looking to strengthen their supply chain operations between Europe and Asia. \n•           Date: 28 November 2022\n•           Time: 09:30 to 11:00 (GMT) \nImproving the resilience of global supply chains has rapidly become a top priority for manufacturing businesses. Post-COVID-19 global supply chain disruption\, China’s ‘zero COVID’ policy\, and other macro trends (e.g.\, geo-political tensions\, trade wars\, rising labour costs in China) have forced companies to consider diversifying their supply chain operations in Asia through a ‘China +1’ sourcing strategy – generally looking at Southeast Asia and India as key alternative regional supply chain markets. \nYet\, China continues to account for almost one third of global manufacturing output\, with many UK and European manufacturers relying on China as their sole or primary supply chain market. Businesses must weigh the potential benefits against the risks of transitioning to alternative markets and require the right guidance on issues such as supplier selection\, due diligence\, and tariffs\, as well as other regulatory and commercial considerations. \nSupply Chain Experts\nWe’re pleased to bring together supply chain experts and experienced industry professionals from across China\, India\, and Southeast Asia. They will be offering companies in automotive and advanced engineering supply chains detailed insights on how the latest trends are impacting the industry\, as well as practical guidance on setting up and managing supply chain and manufacturing operations in each market. \nThis webinar will cover:\n\nAutomotive sector overview\n\nSpeaker: Matt Smith\, Senior International Manager\, SMMT.\n\n\nChina – how to leverage the world’s largest automotive manufacturing hub.\n\nSpeakers: David Gregory\, Head of Advanced Manufacturing\, China-Britain Business Council (CBBC) and Arie Schreier\, General Manager\, PTL Group.\n\n\nIndia – capabilities in auto and precision manufacturing.\n\nSpeaker: Anirudh Reddy\, Director\, Strategic Initiatives\, Zetwerk.\n\n\nASEAN – overview of the Thai Automotive market and current trends.\n\nSpeaker: Nuttapan Meethong\, Director\, YCP Solidiance.\n\n\nQ&A panel discussion\n\n\nRegister Here »\n

SUMMARY:Progeny Maritime Research Framework (PMRF) Webinar
DESCRIPTION:About the event\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar Title: Progeny Maritime Research Framework (PMRF)\nDescription: The Progeny Maritime Research Framework (PMRF) underpins delivery of the UK’s Maritime Science and Technology capability from within Dstl and the wider MOD. \n\nDate and time\n\n\nThu\, 14 July 2022\n10:00 – 12:00 \n\n————————————————————— \n\nThe event will also hear from our commercial team about how you work with or sell to Dstl\nIf you have any questions during the webinar\, please connect with the below Slido App QR Code available on the Eventbrite page.\nAfter the webinar\, we will send all attendees a copy of the presentation and the Q&A .\n\n————————————————————— \nDstl’s webinars are designed to help small and medium-sized enterprises work with the defence sector. They are free to attend and you do not need to have experience working with Dstl or in defence. \nOver the next 5 years Dstl will be investing over £100m in the best and most promising new science and technologies\, accelerating the development of novel and resilient defence communications\, networks and architectures\, in order to meet the challenges of future military operations. \nDefence is already facing the challenges of increased demand for data and information\, with more sensors collecting more data\, and increased speed of data analysis and decision making as a result of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. At the same time there is an increasing demand for communication resources due to the growth in novel battlefield assets\, such as remote and autonomous systems\, all requiring access to the electromagnetic spectrum for communications\, command and control. \nWe will be investing in potential solutions to these challenges\, from the novel use of the electromagnetic spectrum\, alternative communications mechanisms\, adaptive and autonomous networks\, and novel data routing algorithms\, to improve the availability of secure information to military systems and decision makers at the time and place of need. \nWe are looking to develop a diverse community of suppliers\, including universities and academics\, non-traditional defence suppliers\, as well as the established defence primes\, in order to stimulate innovation and to accelerate potential solutions through to concept demonstration. \nIf you have something to offer and would like to find how to get involved\, then please join us. We would love to take you with us on this exciting journey. \n  \nBOOK YOUR PLACE

SUMMARY:Virtual Workshop - Signposting Supply Chain Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:WE-Zero Virtual Workshop – Signposting supply chain opportunities\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are please to announce our first WE-Zero cluster event. \nIntroduction \nThe recent COP26 conference has highlighted to the world the need to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions. \nThe South West Aerospace and Advanced Engineering sector which is represented by WEAF is committed to helping to support regional development of infrastructure and technologies which can deliver ZERO emissions across Aerospace and a range of associated sectors. \nBased on the growing interest in the potential for a hydrogen economy. WEAF held a virtual H2 SW summit in 2021. \nWith the launch of the West of England Zero emissions cluster\, “WE-ZERO” WEAF is working to bring together stakeholders involved with the development of the Net Zero emission eco system under regional collaborative cluster. \nRecently Airbus announced it was speeding up its investigations into the possible use of Hydrogen\, as a clean fuel which could slash aviation emissions\, including a complete transition from conventional jet fuel around 2050. Bristol Airport is quickly developing its plans for sustainable aviation \nWEAF follows up H2SW with a virtual 2 day webinar. \nThe event will hear from expert speakers\, providing an insight to the developments of Hydrogen and Electrification and the opportunities that lie within the supply chain. \n\n\n  \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/we-zero-virtual-workshop-signposting-supply-chain-opportunities-tickets-203084169217Day 1: Hydrogen \n09:45 – 10:15 Introduction from Colin Turner\, WEAF CEO and keynote speaker (tbc) \n10:15 – 11:00 Speaker Session 1 \n11:00 – 11:45 Speaker Session 2 \n11:45 – 12:30 Speaker Session 3 \n12:30 – 13:00 Speaker Session 4 \n  \nDay 2: Electrical \n09:45 – 10:15 Introduction from Colin Turner\, WEAF CEO and keynote speaker (tbc) \n10:15 – 11:00 Speaker Session 1 \n11:00 – 11:45 Speaker Session 2 \n11:45 – 12:30 Speaker Session 3 \n12:30 – 13:00 Speaker Session 4 \n  \n\n\nKindly Supported by the Department for International Trade.
