At the highest level, Europe continues to be a hotbed for innovation
Technology such as machinery, hard and software, and materials continue to develop, resulting in new products and processes that are bigger/smaller, more complex, smarter, lighter, faster, greener and more efficient.
At a practical level, TFDI’s recent work has focused on manufacturing across several verticals, working with companies producing solutions including 3D printing applications, clean energy technology (wind, solar, hydrogen, wave……..), VR to support staff training, smart storage and transportation for perishable goods, “green” circuit board innovation, new vehicle suspension systems, just a few of the exciting products presented, with our support, to the European market.
