This is a unique opportunity for companies to learn about 5G capabilities and how they can be used to develop new value propositions that embrace the potential of future disruptive technologies.

CBI and Digital Catapult have partnered with DCMS to deliver this industry roundtable as we identify how 5G can impact the manufacturing and logistics sectors.

In support of the upcoming 5G Sectors Testbeds & Trials national competition, Digital Catapult and DCMS will identify how your business can apply for funding for the development of new products, services and experiences, technically and commercially, utilising 5G technology.

As announced by Jeremy Wright in June, this new 5G Sector Testbeds & Trials competition will have £40m available for match-funded projects over the next 2.5 years, representing a great new opportunity for innovation across the manufacturing industries and its UK supply chain.
