The Royal Academy of Engineering, in conjunction with the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the Science and Innovation Network at the British Embassy in Berlin, would like to invite you to attend a presentation by Professor Henning Kagermann, President of acatech, Germany’s national academy of science and engineering, and former CEO of SAP, on 4 February 2014 at the Royal Academy of Engineering.
Professor Kagermann is the driver behind Germany’s Industrie 4.0 strategy – an attempt to align its manufacturing, web science, IT and embedded electronic sectors so that Germany emerges as a leader in intelligent factories and smart manufacturing. More information on Industrie 4.0 can be found here.
We would be delighted to welcome you to attend this event, which is intended to provoke debate in the UK about our own manufacturing strategies, and to galvanise stakeholders from different UK industry sectors to work closer together around similar objectives.
The event will be chaired by Professor Sir Mike Gregory CBE FREng, Head of the Institute for Manufacturing at the University of Cambridge. Following Professor Kagermann’s presentation, a panel discussion will take place involving Bob Joyce FREng (Executive Director, Product Creation and Delivery, Jaguar Land Rover) and Dr Peter Fitzgerald CBE FREng (Managing Director, Randox).
