The CONFIRM ecosystem is a precursor to our formal ‘community of practice’ which is being initiated. The groupings are one in which partners will contribute to and benefit from best practice insights and key learnings in Digital Manufacturing. This Community will include but will not be confided to MNCs, SMEs, regulators, start-ups, education bodies, service providers, and researchers. We intend to facilitate bilateral and multiparty sector agnostic engagement, allowing manufacturers to position themselves as pioneers globally within advanced Digital Manufacturing.
