In our latest GAMBICA series, we focus on members and the benefits they gain from GAMBICA to give them the edge in their industry.

Arian Aryanfard, Customer Solutions Design Manager at Festo talks about the collaboration opportunities that GAMBICA facilitates.

From cross-sector working groups to peer networking, GAMBICA brings together industry professionals to share knowledge and build meaningful business relationships.

Arian participates in GAMBICA activities related to automation, compliance, environmental initiatives and engagement with universities.

He said: “I get involved in these activities because they provide a valuable opportunity to collaborate with peers from competitor organisations and related industries. This allows us to exchange best practice and share practical experience that can be directly applied within our company.

“These opportunities also allow for early visibility of industry trends and challenges, helping us continuously improve customer outcomes and solution delivery. Compliance focused discussions are particularly beneficial, as these areas are often complex. Receiving clear summaries and shared industry perspectives supports confident decision making.”

Arian added: “Engagement with universities is equally important, as it offers insight into the latest research, technologies and skills development, ensuring we remain aligned with future innovation.”

Arian would absolutely recommend GAMBICA membership. He said: “It provides strong industry insight, valuable connections and a constructive platform for collaboration across the sector.”
