Themes ? • Manufacturing industries are increasing driven by “service thinking” rather than “product thinking” • Many of these services are complex with commercial and public-sector strands intertwined • Civic leaders and planners can help their local businesses get ahead not just by creating the conditions for generic growth but also anticipating future service trends and building and procuring locally • Buy, build and test locally – sell worldwide
