Where Cheshire East’s SMEs Connect With Innovation, Expertise & Real-World Growth Opportunities
Join us for the next CONNECT+ AMRC event – a flagship, full-day experience designed to bring together Cheshire East SMEs, industry experts, and innovation specialists for a high-value, highly interactive programme of learning, insights, and expertly managed networking.
Following the success of previous CONNECT+ events, this session goes even further, giving businesses hands-on access to the people, technology and support programmes that can accelerate productivity, skills and sustainable growth.
Hosted at AMRC Cymru, participants will explore cutting-edge manufacturing technologies, learn from specialist speakers, engage in expert-led roundtables, and build meaningful relationships through structured networking designed to maximise new connections and opportunities.
