Industrialisation: What Startups Still Don’t Know About Manufacturing

The equipment has been ordered and the production targets agreed. What happens if the process cannot deliver them? Bringing together speakers from EKATO, Soufflet Malt, NXW, Mach Global Advisors and Solar Foods, this panel will examine the manufacturing decisions startups need to get right before committing to a commercial plant. The discussion will cover equipment, process integration, supply chains and operating costs, with practical lessons for teams preparing to move beyond pilot production.

What you’ll take away:

• What pilot data can tell you about commercial production—and where further testing is needed.
• Which questions to ask equipment suppliers and engineering partners before signing off a design.
• How utilities, cleaning, maintenance and downstream processing can affect capacity and cost.
• Where supply-chain and regulatory requirements need to inform manufacturing plans.
• How to challenge production and cost assumptions before they become expensive commitments.
