Foresight Vehicle is a government-funded initiative involving more than 400 companies and universities in what is described as ‘cutting-edge technology’. It is claimed that many of the ‘breakthroughs will shape every aspect of tomorrow’s vehicles, transport systems and manufacturing techniques’.
More than 200 leading industrialists will attend a summit, called ‘Shaping the 21st Century Skills for Competitive Businesses’, on May 26 as part of the Sunday Times Motor Show Live.
Pat Selwood, Foresight’s Programme Manager, said: “This is a great opportunity for us to tell import people from industry what we do – and I think many will be pleasantly surprised.
“Foresight Vehicle projects are resulting in more efficient manufacturing techniques and vehicles that are safer and greener. We are also looking at the whole transport infrastructure and the part that technology can play in easing traffic flow.”
The summit is organised by the SMMT Industry Forum and supported by the Learning and Skills Council, the organisation for skills development in England.
