Navigating supply chain disruption and diversifying networks is an immediate concern for manufacturers, but securing capital and developing the skills required for a new digital workplace is also high on priority lists.
While there is no perfect solution to reducing carbon outputs, there is an urgent need to accelerate investment in technologies like hydrogen, carbon capture and storage. High energy costs mean that conversations around premium pricing are difficult, but close partnerships between energy users and suppliers will be key to achieving net-zero goals.
The pandemic has accelerated digitisation, but further collaboration across industry is needed to realise the benefits in factory operations and supply chains. While new technologies will be critical, the future of manufacturing must be human-centric.
