Overview

Unlocking data & AI: Boosting competitive edge and resilience in the UK's food & drink sector via improved productivity and sustainability.

The digital transformation imperative event at AMRC Cymru on 11 March 2026 is a strategic summit designed to help the UK food and drink sector turn intense pressure into a competitive advantage. In an era of thin margins and tightening regulations, digital strategy must move beyond "speed" toward "Safe Velocity"—the ability to innovate rapidly without compromising compliance or safety.

The event centers on achieving "One Version of the Truth." By breaking down data silos, organisations eliminate the "trust tax" caused by conflicting data . This unified foundation enables Data-Driven Food Security: integrating AI and master data across manufacturing to safeguard the UK food system by stabilising prices, reducing resource dependency, and ensuring supply continuity.

Attendees will explore how "Leaner Prototypes" and digital twins reduce R&D risk and optimise resource efficiency. From DEFRA’s national data vision to sustainability leadership, this event provides the roadmap for a resilient, transparent, and productive food system.

Join us to transform your data into a "Trust Dividend" and safeguard UK food security through digital excellence.
