An upcoming business event has been planned to boost the advanced manufacturing and engineering landscape in the North West.

The event seeks to explore exciting new practices and technologies within the business environment with active sponsorship from Council, DuPont, InvestNI and the DigiManufacturing Cluster of Manufacturing NI.

The GEMX event, which takes place on Friday, September 1 will see a range of companies and stakeholders come together to exchange ideas and best practice as well as offer advice and support.

The event seeks to connect like-minded professionals, bring together potential collaborations and explore business opportunities within the local landscape.

Joanne Sweeney, Project Director from GEMX, said the event hoped to explore collaborative opportunities to enhance the overall business landscape within the North West.

“GEMX exists to encourage collaboration and we are delighted to host this event where we feel the expertise of our larger North West companies will help shape the development of SMEs.

“Collaboration and networking are key to the success of the local economy and GEMX companies demonstrate this at every opportunity.”

GEMX is supported under Invest NI’s Collaborative Growth Programme, which is aimed at SME-led networks, and provides support for groups to pursue innovative collaborative projects with the potential to increase business competitiveness.

Attendees will have the chance to witness firsthand the latest technologies, products and services that are currently reshaping our industry landscape.
