The medical technologies manufacturing industry is an essential engine for the Midlands’ economic growth, innovation, healthcare improvement, global trade, skills development, and healthcare resilience. This multifaceted role underscores its importance in both the regional and national contexts.
In this workshop, attendees will:
- Explore together the visions and future business models for the sector.
- Jointly identify the drivers that change the sector.
- Identify the organisational changes required and how to prepare for them.

- Co-create a plan of action for the kinds of change everyone can invest in and trust.
InterAct will take you through the foreseeable changes that lie ahead and work with you to develop the flexibility that will allow you to pivot to be equally productive and sustainable in different scenarios, delivering progress with purpose.
The InterAct Future of Digital Manufacturing Ecosystems research team has published a vital report that brings you the information you need, at your fingertips, outlining four potential future scenarios and the associated opportunities for the manufacturing world.
The four potential alternatives for the digital manufacturers of tomorrow we suggest are:
- Productivity Powerhouse
- Flexibility as Standard
- Sustainability Champion
- Happy and Sustainable Workforce
This is an important opportunity to anticipate future technological changes and plan to be prepared for developments in AI and other future technologies and make the necessary changes sooner rather than later to keep our region’s manufacturers competitive.
