This event is for any Thames Valley business that wants to learn more about adopting robotics.

Robotics is changing how industries work, and UK businesses have a real opportunity to get ahead. Right now, the UK has 119 robots for every 10,000 manufacturing workers – far below the global average of 162, meaning there’s plenty of room to grow.

In July, our Robotics Adoption Forum brought together Thames Valley SMEs, technology providers, and investors to explore what robotics could do for their businesses. The Accelerating Robotics Panel picks up where that conversation left off. The panel has been curated to give Thames Valley businesses the clarity and confidence to take their next step with robotics.

Adopting robotics is about far more than buying the equipment. You’ll need to think about integration, data, workforce skills, safety, and the wider changes to how you operate.

The panel will focus on these areas, look at how businesses can tackle the practical challenges of adopting robotics, and how robotics innovators can help Thames Valley businesses make the most of the opportunity.

At the panel, you’ll:

• Hear from businesses that have already adopted robotics about what it’s really like, including the challenges, the value, and the lessons they’ve learnt along the way.
• Build valuable connections with robotics businesses and other SMEs exploring robotics.
• Find out what robotics can do for your business and what support is available to help you get started.
