ChangeMaker Moments:

Smart Manufacturing

 13:00 - 15:00 | Thursday 5th June 2025

Delivered by Unloc, The Manufacturer, Verizon Business, and Juniper Networks.

The manufacturing sector is facing a recruitment and retention crisis and everyone recognises a significant shift in approach to talent identification is required. As an aging industry, manufacturing desperately needs to attract young people with digital skills and innovative ideas. It’s time to draw on the existing expertise and align it with the needs of the future workforce - Changemaker Moments is coming to Birmingham.

Hosted as part of The Manufacturer’s ‘Smart Manufacturing Week’, in partnership with Verizon Business & Juniper Networks, this thought provoking event brings professionals & young people together to inspire and share, whilst addressing the pressing recruitment challenges faced across the UK manufacturing sector.

On Thursday 5th June 2025, we will be hosting our Changemaker Moments: Smart Manufacturing Event at the NEC, Birmingham, following on directly from the Manufacturing Digitalisation Summit, starting from 1pm.

This interactive session will bring together 50 x business leaders and 50 x tech native young people, from the local area, to foster open discussions, share inter-generational perspectives, and develop actionable solutions.

Some of the world’s biggest manufacturers will be joining us as we aim to answer the question - what culture and skills do we need to attract the future workforce in Manufacturing?

An afternoon of Lunch & Learning:

  • Careers Uncovered / Future Workforce Uncovered - this interactive alternative to the traditional fi re-side panel removes the barrier of assumption as the audience gain a deeper insight into the individual pathways to careers from guest speakers (KONE, The Manufacturer and more)
  • Industry Insights - young people work with business leaders to explore how emerging technologies such as Sustainable Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and AI are revolutionising the manufacturing industry
  • Unseen Connections - an unique spin on networking, enabling young people and business leaders to connect and learn from one another in a speed mentoring session. Participants are challenged to explore topics which support young people to navigate career paths in the rapidly evolving world of work, and encourage business leaders to consider the role they have to play.

Agenda:

13:15 Business leaders arrive: Welcome and introduction 

13:30 Lunch & Learn - Fireside chat with guest speakers/business leaders being interviewed by young people. Lunch provided.

14:00 - 14:50 - Sector Specific Challenges Carousel: Reverse mentoring activities between young people & business leaders addressing key challenges:
