The Future of Technology Series is virtually back! In partnership with the Institute of Digital Engineering, we’re taking the Future of Technology Series online to host a week of short webinars. We’ll be covering the use of digital engineering in the automotive industry as part of our #FoTDigitalisationWeek, ‘Digitalisation: The Transformation of Engineering’.

In this session – Is the automotive industry in the slow lane? We will be hearing from other sectors about how they are using digital engineering and what we can learn from them.

The UK automotive industry is not alone in its need to embrace new digital science and technology to transform its engineering capability. How are other industries using this technology to their advantage? Are we all facing the same challenges or are they unique to specific sectors? We will be hearing from different industries including aviation, F1 and marine to gage, is the automotive industry in the slow lane and what do we need to do to keep up?
