Phil is one of the UK's champions of innovation and digitalisation and launched Cisco's British Innovation Gateway (BIG) programme, a legacy of London 2012, to spark nationwide ingenuity, ambition and growth through technology entrepreneurship

They will also be joined by EEF CEO, Terry Scuoler and EEF's Consultancy Director, Martin Strutt.
