Indeed\, all but one of the world’s 25 largest Biotech and Pharma companies have a presence in Ireland. In recent years\, capital investment of about $10 billion has been made in new facilities by the BioPharma industry in Ireland. This is believed to represent close to the biggest wave of investment in new BioTech facilities anywhere in the world\, according to the IDA Ireland (Ireland’s inward investment promotion agency). \nThe Biotechnology Innovation Organisation defines Biotechnology at its simplest as technology based on biology – Biotechnology harnesses cellular and biomolecular processes to develop technologies and products that help improve our lives and the health of our planet. Medical Technologies relate to prevention\, diagnosis\, monitoring\, treatment\, and care\, and often utilise new technologies such as artificial intelligence or machine learning\, according to MedTech Europe. \nThe National MedTech & Biotech Summit\, which is being held on 25th & 26th of May at the RDS Simmonscourt in Dublin\, will highlight the key trends and challenges facing the sector\, while also showcasing the latest innovations and developments in best practice\, and the technological solutions available. The event will focus on the global growth opportunities\, as well as major trends such as digital health and the shift to value-based healthcare and the long-term implications for manufacturers and business models. \nThe National MedTech & BioTech Summit is part of the National Manufacturing & Supply Chain Conference & Exhibition\, which incorporates several complementary events – all under one roof. Other co-located events include: the National Pharmaceutical & Life Sciences Expo; Lab2Cleanroom Live; the Automation and Robotics Event; the IOT & Industry 4.0 Expo; the National Sustainability Summit; the Supply Chain & Logistics Expo; and the Lean Productivity and Continuous Improvement Summit.

SUMMARY:Adopting AI in Manufacturing: How to Access KTP Funding to Close Your Knowledge Gap
DESCRIPTION:Manufacturing businesses are invited to join these interactive roundtables to explore the uses of AI within their operations\, and learn how to access KTP funding to address their challenges. \nDespite the impact of Covid-19 and Brexit\, the UK manufacturing sector showed strong growth in 2021; however\, in the light of the current geopolitical situation\, supply chains have been further disrupted triggering input-cost inflation. Furthermore\, maintaining a skilled workforce still represents a challenge. \nContinued growth and productivity can be enabled – in part – by focusing on technology adoption and automation\, which in turn will drive the required upskilling and workforce productivity the sector needs\, while cutting costs. In order to achieve this\, InnovateUK KTN are keen to support strategic initiatives around the adoption of AI\, especially for SMEs and businesses that have been affected by the current global challenges. \nThe AI team at Innovate UK KTN\, in collaboration with the Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) programme and the Manufacturing Made Smarter Innovation Network will deliver two virtual interactive sessions where manufacturing businesses from all sectors will have the opportunity to explore the uses of Artificial Intelligence within their operations. \nDuring these sessions\, we will also help identify projects that can be funded through the KTP programme – an open competition which offers support rates between 50-75% of the eligible project costs\, that links forward thinking businesses with the UK’s world class knowledge bases to deliver innovation projects. During the webinars\, attendees will get the chance to learn further details about the programme\, with dedicated KTP Advisers available to facilitate the discussions and help shape potential projects and consortiums.
