The Emerald Aero Group Ireland was delighted to be represented by Fiona Murphy at the Digital Manufacturing Forum, hosted by Symetri Europe and IDEAM Industry Cluster at the Technological University of the Shannon’s Coonagh Campus in Limerick earlier this month.

The forum brought together industry leaders, innovators, technology providers and manufacturing professionals for an engaging day focused on the future of digital manufacturing. The programme combined insightful keynote presentations with practical demonstrations, showcasing the latest digital technologies and solutions that are transforming the manufacturing landscape and driving greater efficiency, innovation and competitiveness across the sector.

A particular highlight of the event was hearing from an outstanding lineup of speakers, including Dr. David Downey MBus/D.Eng, Simon Eaves, Ciara Buckley and Demir Ali, who shared valuable perspectives on digital transformation, emerging technologies, industry trends and the opportunities ahead for manufacturers embracing digital innovation.

Events such as the Digital Manufacturing Forum play a vital role in advancing our industry. They provide an invaluable opportunity to exchange knowledge, explore emerging technologies, strengthen industry partnerships and encourage collaboration between academia and industry. By bringing together experts from across the manufacturing ecosystem, these forums help shape the future of Irish manufacturing and inspire organisations to continue investing in digital capability and innovation.

A sincere thank you to Symetri Europe, IDEAM Industry Cluster and the Technological University of the Shannon for hosting such a well-organised and informative event. Emerald Aero Group Ireland is proud to support initiatives that encourage collaboration, knowledge sharing and continuous innovation, and we look forward to participating in future events that help drive the industry forward.
