Manufacturing Productivity Roundtable

A practical conversation about overcoming labour challenges and improving productivity through automation, robotics and AI.

Calgary, AB

Join us in Quarry Park, at the heart of Calgary’s manufacturing community, for a candid roundtable discussion about the productivity and labour challenges facing manufacturers today.

As pressure grows to improve efficiency, address workforce constraints and adopt new technologies, manufacturers need practical strategies to remain competitive. This session will explore how automation, robotics and artificial intelligence can help businesses modernize, scale and make better use of their people and resources.

You’ll also learn about BDC’s LIFT program—Lead with Innovation and Focus on Technology—and how its financing and advisory support can help move your modernization plans forward.
