- Future of Supply Chain Labs – Northern Ireland – 22 February
There is an opportunity to join a Digital Catapult Workshop looking at digital innovation across supply chains and how we can use technology to address the challenges they face. It’s a one-time workshop in Belfast for a small group of enterprises (8-10) and we’d like to invite you to participate as we imagine this may be of benefit to you.
If you are unable to attend, then you might want to suggest an organisation within your supply chain who might also benefit from this.
This is part of Digital Catapult’s wider Made Smarter Innovation | Digital Supply Chain Hub. This is a national programme to accelerate the understanding and inclusion of digital technology across supply chains.
I’ve included some info below and the link to register your interest.
If you have any questions, please get in contact.
