Cambridge international Manufacturing Symposium

CIM Symposium will be shaping the future of global manufacturing supply networks and delivering sustainable value for producers and consumers through digital platforms. Advanced production and digital technologies are offering new opportunities for more responsive, flexible and distributed manufacturing. E-Commerce models are also emerging, as are digital platform businesses, that are connecting end-users with producers and service providers. Whilst these technology developments suggest radically different digitalized manufacturing supply chains, technology adoption is far from straightforward, with many pilot applications not progressing to full scale.
