Talking Industry

#23 - Keynote How to grow from £7m to £70m through the adoption of digital technologies

The inaugural Talking Industry LIVE keynote address is an interactive,engaging and informal discussion by Mike Hague-Morgan, Executive Director of Autocraft Solutions Group, and Dr Megan Ronayne, Head ofIndustrial Technologies & Manufacturing at Innovate UK KTN.
Together they explore how one of Europe’s leading OEM partners for the manufacture,remanufacture and assembly of IC engines and EV batteries transitioned from being a very traditional manufacturer using hand tools anda paper system, to a high-technology company with world-class quality, repeatability and digital traceability which has been the catalystfor such rapid growth.
Innovate UK’s innovation ecosystem, including Innovate UK KTN and the Catapult Network played a vital role in the digital journey ofAutocraft Solutions Group. Mike and Megan will explore how Innovate UK provided this leading powertrain manufacturing partnerwith collaboration, funding, and vision to give a practical and real life insight into how companies can achieve similar transitions.
