Topic: What is Advanced Manufacturing and Where is it Headed?

Description:

Advanced manufacturing is about developing and applying advanced technologies in the business of making things – but it’s not all about technology. It is also about strategic leadership, process excellence, partnerships, and above all people. And, it won’t succeed unless it is aligned to creating value-adding solutions for customers. The ability of companies to deliver customized solutions at scale will define the future competitive advantage of advanced manufacturing in Canada.
