The Growth Hub is launching a premier four-part webinar series. It helps regional manufacturers and logistics leaders understand automation. Furthermore, the series provides a practical, engineering-led roadmap for businesses.
Laura Hayton of Transicon will host the series throughout 2026. Sessions will occur in March, June, September, and December. Most importantly, the series focuses on real-world applications rather than sales hype. Consequently, businesses can better solve labour shortages and rising costs.
