Theatre : Supply Chain, Trade and Policy
Global developments in recent years have brought into focus the importance of national resilience. From energy, to semi-conductors, to basic materials, the convulsions of the global economy is undergoing, bring into sharp focus the importance of strengthening local supply chains and the dangers of an over-reliance on an increasingly concentrated number of global suppliers.
Against this backdrop, Gareth Stace will speak on the importance of a resilient domestic steel industry in the UK, and the policies we need from the government to secure it.
Powder atomisation is a cost-effective processing method that has the ability to produce complex shapes which are impractical, or even impossible, for conventional processes whilst minimising machining by producing parts…
