To mark its Centenary, the ACU is delighted to announce a series of lectures by Sir David King, former Director of the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment at the University of Oxford, UK.
In the inaugural talk of the ACU Centenary Lecture Series, Sir David King asks: what are some of the challenges ahead and how can innovative manufacturing help us solve them? Population growth is a driver of change, but the more drastic change is development and the increased use of resources by the population. Here, environmental risk management for mankind becomes an opportunity for business to efficiently move ahead. In order for the most effective solutions to come about, manufacturers must be allowed to flourish in the right atmosphere. What is needed then is a supportive environment in which governments create the level framework (regulation and opportunities) allowing business to create and bring solutions to the marketplace. These new challenges require new solutions and new economic thinking, increasing the role that manufacturing plays in finding them.
