National Manufacturing Debate 2013 - National Strategy for UK Manufacturing
20-21 May 2013

The National Manufacturing Debate is an annual event hosted by Cranfield University. The event brings together manufacturing professionals from a range of sectors to discuss and debate current challenges in the industry, and encourage networking and collaboration across the sector to enable continued and long-term growth. Now into its fourth successful year, this FREE event will take place over two days, 20 and 21 May 2013. 

The UK will drop from its current ranking as 15th most competitive manufacturing nation to 19th over in five years' time, and will be increasingly challenged to maintain a competitive edge by emerging nations such as Brazil and India, according to the 2013 Global Manufacturing Competitiveness Index report from Deloitte. This timely event will therefore examine whether the UK really needs a manufacturing strategy, what such a strategy should include and who should deliver it.

During 20 May, delegates are able to take part in tours and demonstrations of Cranfield's state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, showcasing current and future research activity. On 21 May, following a range of presentations from keynote speakers, the National Manufacturing Debate will take place.
