The Spring Servitization Conference 2018: Driving Competitiveness through Servitization

Monday 14 & Tuesday 15 May will be the now established format of a single stream where all contributors will have an opportunity to present to the whole conference audience, and engage in both structured and semi-structured panel sessions to discuss their work. The programme is designed to encourage strong participation, extensive debate, and continue to bridge research theory and industrial practice. The conference will also feature keynotes from senior executives at leading manufacturing businesses.
