Working towards a new Industrial Strategy

Two events I've attended in the last week - one at the MTC and one at Zebra Technologies' new centre of excellence - have both highlighted the debate in Parliament about the importance of robotics and automation. While I was surprised to learn that this was the first time it had ever been raised as a topic, it does at least show that the new government is prepared to listen.

With best regards
