In today’s competitive landscape, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the manufacturing sector are faced with the imperative to embrace digitalisation as a means to drive growth and sustainability. Whether capitalising on cost efficiencies or harnessing the power of unique product offerings, SME manufacturers are recognising the pivotal role of digitalisation in shaping their future trajectory. It is no longer a matter of choice, but a strategic necessity for professional managers to chart a course towards digital transformation. The questions that loom large are where to begin and how much to invest, among other crucial considerations.

In light of this pressing need, we are thrilled to announce the upcoming hybrid workshop “Navigating the Digitalisation Journey: Empowering SMEs in the Manufacturing Sector.” This event is tailored to cater to the specific needs of small and medium-sized enterprises, offering a platform for industry leaders and professionals to delve into the intricacies of digitalisation within the manufacturing realm.

Digitalisation Journeys for SMEs
