Siemens set to host Transform 2024 at Manchester Central

The free-to-attend, two-day conference and exhibition, which runs on 17-18 July, will support industry in tackling its most urgent challenges and provide a platform for delegates from a wide range of sectors to collaborate on potential solutions and share knowledge.

The 2024 event follows the business’ inaugural Transform 2022 event at the same venue, which heard from leaders including world-renowned economist Lord Jim O’Neill, representatives from F1’s Red Bull Racing and engineering group Arup and also Andy Burnham, the Mayor of Greater Manchester.

Speakers for this year’s event will be revealed in the coming months.

Participants will be privy to free consultation from Siemens’ experts to help address their transformation challenges, including how to fund new projects.

Live hackathons will also solve real-world industry challenges in real-time.

Pressing challenges

Carl Ennis, CEO for Siemens GB and Ireland, said: “Transform 2024 will host the community that’s solving today’s most pressing challenges. Combining the real and digital worlds in new ways is at the heart of so many of the strategies that are making this possible.”

Ennis continued: “Our aim is for delegates to leave with greater clarity and confidence to move forward with digital and sustainability transformation, and to help them discover tangible solutions for making their organisation more competitive, resilient and sustainable.”

In conclusion, Ennis observed: “As we know from Transform 2022, events like this create an environment that provides the means for industry to convene and collaborate, helping professionals to deploy ground-breaking technologies in a bid to strike at new opportunities. Transform acts as a crucial forum to debate broader issues, from how we grow the UK’s STEM talent pool right through to how we can effectively champion UK industry on the global stage.”
