Roadmapping to grow your business

09:00 - 15:30, Manufacturing Technology Centre, Coventry

Your customers increasingly want to see your technology roadmaps

The MAA now has an easy-to-use roadmapping tool specifically designed for small businesses. The MAA Innovation & Technology Group, which has governed the development of this roadmapping tool, includes senior engineering managers from companies like Advanced Composites Group, Aero Engine Controls, Goodrich Actuation Systems, HS Marston, ITP Engines UK and Rolls-Royce.
