The application digital innovation and remote technical services across many industries is varied, but there is no denying that as the world continues to adapt to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic the interest and implementation of automation, artificial intelligence (AI) or robotics is rapidly growing. Specially so, the manufacturing industry, in the midst of the pandemic was greatly affected due to health and safety regulations often needing to innovate when faced with reduction of costs, personnel, and sudden impact in the supply-chain.
This Seminar will focus on the rapid acceleration of manufacturing innovation pushed by the onset of the pandemic across the world. Experts will share their experience on their organization’s adaption through COVID-19 and how automation has been part of it. In addition, Nanxiang Economic City will share their unique perspective as a leading innovation hub featuring robust infrastructure serving many industries.
The European Chamber is delighted to welcome leaders from Leadec Industrial Services, LehmanBrown, and Nanxiang Economic City to share their experience and outlook on the above mentioned. Join us 22nd October, 4:00pm at the Shanghai Office of the European Chamber.
