According to latest research from EEF, investment in innovation is putting Britain’s manufacturers at the forefront of the race for recovery.
They’re taking innovation out of the lab and into the heart of their businesses, changing not just what they offer, but how they operate. Manufacturers are matching market-winning products with smart business processes to boost efficiency, strip out cost, streamline supply chains and strengthen customer relationships.
And they’re not working alone - but collaborating with customers and suppliers to focus their activities where they’ll deliver most value. And they’re looking at their peers across the industry for inspiration.
EEF’s new research - Creating the Playing Field - Innovation Monitor 2009 - is your insight into how your peers - and your competitors - are translating innovation investment into competitive advantage.
Our Innovation Starter Kit is designed to help you start getting to grips with how to bring innovation into your business - from accessing funding, to where innovation might benefit your business and how to make it happen.
And as the manufacturers’ organisation, we’re acting as a catalyst for collaboration too - and our national networking programmes introduce you to Britain’s brightest and best.
