IfAM Breakfast Event #4 - Manufacturing Support Services - PMC

Event Information

The Institute for Advanced Manufacturing (IfAM) is running a series of monthly breakfast events specifically for the manufacturing sector. These events are being held within the state-of-the-art Advanced Manufacturing Building at the University of Nottingham and will also be live streamed for our audience who wish to join us virtually.

This breakfast event will provide information on the Precision Manufacturing Centre (PMC) at the University of Nottingham and the business support services available to companies. The PMC is an ISO9001 certified centre within IfAM that works with businesses to help solve their manufacturing challenges and innovation needs. The PMC has a range of free support offerings for eligible SMEs and this session will explain these in further detail.

The event will also include a presentation from the Nottinghamshire Manufacturing Network (NMN) on how peer-to-peer business networks can enable manufacturing companies to thrive individually and as part of a collective.
