Robotics and Automation 2025: Powering Your Future – June 17&18. MTC, Coventry

The highly anticipated Robotics and Automation 2025: Powering Your Future event will return to the Manufacturing
Technology Centre (MTC) on June 17-18, 2025. This year’s gathering will include a keynote address from Dr. Bernd
Liepert, President of euRobotics AISBL – the European Robotics Association, about the opportunities for UK to forge
a bigger robotics market with Europe. The Rt Hon Greg Clark – Chair of the Warwick Manufacturing Group and a
member of the Industrial Strategy Advisory Council, which contributes to the development and long-term delivery
of HM Government’s industrial strategy, will also be delivering a talk to attendees.

Other highlights include:

• Businesses sharing how they successfully navigated their own automation journeys
• Insights from the West Midlands Robotics Cluster on best practices, innovation opportunities and exciting
  collaborations around the world
• Predictions on how the financing landscape is expected to impact technology adoption in the near future with
  The UK Automation Forum and NatWest.
• Findings from of The Workforce Foresighting Hub’s recent study into the skills required for SMEs to adopt robot
  automation for metalworking.
• Key findings from the UK Fashion and Textile Association who will be sharing its Advancing Automation and
  Robotics for Sustainable Manufacturing whitepaper, looking at the challenges and opportunities of integrating
  robotics and automation into fashion and textiles manufacturing.
• MTC’s hosting of Robotics and Automation this year follows recent news that it won the bid to host the
  European Robotics Forum (ERF) 2027 in Birmingham, in partnership with University of Birmingham and the
  Birmingham and West Midlands Convention Bureau.

Global instability is driving a growing interest in reshoring manufacturing to increase supply chain resilience. Robotics technology will play a key role in this endeavour. By convening innovators, thought leaders and end users in the field for this year’s event, we’re working to
unlock possibilities and encourage greater investment by UK industry in robot automation.
