Invitation to AI-Focused Business event – 21st of May in Manchester, GMCC

Dear Manchester Statistical Society,
My name is Francesco Feraco, and I work at the International Trade Department at the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce. I’m reaching out to warmly invite you to participate in our upcoming event:
Growing your Business in Germany via NRW – from Artificial Intelligence to Engineering and Manufacturing
taking place on Wednesday the 21st of May in Manchester.
This event, delivered in partnership with NRW.Global Business and Business Metropole Ruhr, will focus on trade, innovation, and investment opportunities between the UK and North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) - Germany’s industrial powerhouse and a rapidly growing AI hub.
NRW.Global Business has specifically requested to engage with the UK’s AI ecosystem - and we would be delighted to invite you. The panel and speakers will include:

• Dr. Christian Temath, Managing Director at KI.NRW (joining virtually from Germany)
• Representatives from the University of Manchester’s Institute for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence
• Stakeholders from the Digital Security Hub (DiSH) and Greater Manchester AI cluster

This would be a great opportunity to:

• Showcase the role of Manchester Statistical Society in supporting AI innovation across the UK
• Engage with businesses interested in AI collaboration or expansion into NRW
• Strengthen international ties with one of Europe’s key digital regions

Following the panel, we’ll have networking and 1-2-1 sessions with businesses, providing further opportunity for engagement and visibility.
We would be thrilled to have you join us and contribute to this high-profile event, please let me know if you’d be interested and available to take part.
Kind regards,
Francesco Feraco | International Trade & Customs Advisor
