From potential market and production growth in Africa, additive manufacturing and nano-technologies, to the development of closed-loop production systems and the Internet of Things, the future of manufacturing is likely to look fundamentally different from how it looks today.

To help busy executives respond to these (r)evolutions taking place in the manufacturing sector, B&M Analysts will deliver a new cutting-edge Executive Development Programme for the University of Pretoria’s Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS). Sponsored by Toyota SA, this programme has been developed by industrial development experts, Dr. Justin Barnes and Dr. Lisa Kinnear, to consist of three modules focused on manufacturing technology disruptions, the green revolution, and African trade and industrialization opportunities and challenges.

The CCTC hosted this programme over the course of  May-July.
