The animal health ecosystem is going through a digital transformation, as disruptive tools reshape the way we think about the prevention and prediction of disease, and veterinarians are increasingly using a variety of new digital solutions to empower them in the workplace and improve their productivity. The growing ‘millenialization’ of pet ownership has resulted in a demand for digital solutions that directly connect the pet owner with the clinic. With 30% of pet owners not currently visiting clinics, practitioners are being forced to adopt solutions that are designed to improve the pet-owner/vet relationship and tackle the longstanding issue of compliance.At the Digital Veterinary Summit, we bring together 150+ executives from across the animal health and veterinary industry, to examine the sector’s digital trends and dynamics, and showcase the industry’s most exciting emerging technologies. This is a companion animal focused event showcasing technology innovation, platforms and services for pet owners and the latest digital solutions for veterinary practice.
Governments everywhere are looking to the electric vehicle (EV) as a means to rapidly reduce carbon emissions, clean up our cities and tackle climate change. But while banning the manufacture of petrol or diesel cars, as the UK hopes to do in 2030, seems like a simple move, transitioning to electric vehicles is complex. It will require the UK’s automotive industry to undergo a rapid gear change as it works hard to innovate the required new technologies and materials that can increase the number of EVs on the roads and uptake by consumers.With the Biden administration in the USA proposing $100 billion USD of investment into EV rebates and China already leading the way with incentivisation - being responsible for over 50% of Electric vehicle production in 2019 – the automotive supply chain in the EU and around the world are on standby for sudden regulatory change that could impact its manufacturing processes.The Sustainable Electric Vehicle (EV) Design – with plastics and composites conference will bring together all those who are passionate about innovating in e-mobility to lightweight vehicles, reduce range anxiety, accelerate consumer demand and support the achievement of government regulation and targets from across the UK, Europe, USA, Asia and beyond. This event will reveal the current level of global progress towards lightweight material integration; design for recycling and EV battery recycling as well as demonstrate how you can overcome the technical, design and engineering challenges that emerge with the transition from creating combustion engine to electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
