About Digital Manufacturing Investor Day:
Why do we hold this event?
Now more than ever, development and innovation in the digital manufacturing industry is a necessity. As companies recover from disrupted supply chains and reduced economic growth, they are seeking new solutions that will enable them to survive and thrive again. Enabling investment in these new technologies means that we can all have a chance to recover economically.
