 Cambridge Investment Research LtdDate: 26/10/05 The 4th High Value Manufacturing UK ConferenceThe 4th High Value Manufacturing UK Conference: East England & Cambridge (HVM-UK: East) takes place on Friday, November 11, 2005 at Buckingham House Conference Centre, New Hall, Huntingdon Rd, Cambridge.
This fresh realisation of the HVM-UK conference series has a new format, based on business models and issues rather than sectors. That means no presentation is to be missed!
Beginning with definitions and discussions of growth, through large and small scale product company sessions ('Macro' and 'Micro'), it crescendos with a distinguished, multi-stakeholder, high-level session on lasting UK strengths in HVM and practical actions. The CIR HVM-UK conferences achieve these desirable objectives: These events are the highlight of the manufacturing calendar. Register here or click here the full PDF brochure. The success of this prestigious conference in previous years has meant that the leading high value manufacturing series is now expanding to cover the UK in 2005/6.Click here for information about the Oxford Conference. 
Who will be speaking? Lord Sainsbury, Minister for Technology & Innovation, returns to address this prestigious conference, which features the keynote talk from Hermann Hauser, the doyen entrepreneur of the local technology cluster. Mike Gregory, Head of the Institute for Manufacturing at Cambridge University, is Chairman. David Fyfe, CEO of Cambridge Display Technology gives a keynote talk for the first time at HVM-UK: East. There are mainly new speakers, but among the few returning speakers are the recent success stories from Phil O'Donovan, co-founder of Cambridge Silicon Radio, thriving as a listed firm now, and Bill Baxter, CEO of Inca Digital, newly acquired by a large Japanese firm after founding as recently as 2000. Some quotes from HVM-UK conferences: 'I am delighted to be here to address this extremely important manufacturing conference... There are fundamental reasons why manufacturing and innovation today are becoming so important for our future.' 'HVM is clean, exciting, networked, it's to strive for and it's something we are proud to see our children do.' 'An excellent conference' 'In the face of increasing low-cost competition, firms will need to move up the value chain and embrace knowledge-intensive, highly-skilled manufacturing to compete more on quality, and less on price.' Organizers CIR have developed the flow of this year's conference to include new speakers and new sessions with talks from some of the best and most innovative manufacturing companies from across the region, like, Pelikon, Patterning Technologies, CMR Fuel Cells, Seymour Powell and HelioDynamics, helping form a clearer picture of competitive manufacturing in a high cost region, and how to build bigger businesses. There are 20 speakers; 4 sessions and panels, and networking breaks; the event is fresh, fast-paced and has a new logical flow towards defining strengths and high-level actions.

We must seek new ideas and opportunities, and exploit them more fully and at a faster rate, and then reinvest that success in further R&D.
