AI, investment and growth: what's next for UK manufacturers?

AI is no longer a future consideration for manufacturers. It's becoming an investment priority.

The latest Manufacturing Investment Monitor from RSM and Make UK reveals that AI now ranks alongside people, plant and machinery as a leading area for investment. Against a backdrop of rising costs and economic uncertainty, manufacturers are increasingly looking to technology, productivity improvements and new markets to drive growth.

Join RSM and Make UK as we explore the findings of this year's survey and what they mean for manufacturers planning their next phase of investment.
