On day two , the opening keynote will be given by Make UK , and will be followed by talks from Made in Britain on innovation in British engineering and design , and a second panel on women in composites . Two exciting competitions will also be held on the main stage , with the Enabling Innovation competition in the morning and the SAMPE Design and Make competition in the afternoon .
2023 felt like the right time to fully encourage collaboration across industries and to prepare the show for a new era of manufacturing and engineering .
At the aerospace forum , visitors can meet experts from H2FLY , Rolls-Royce , YEET Aerospace , MGI Engineering , ADS , Midlands Aerospace Alliance , Satellite Applications Catapult and more , who will cover topics ranging from digitally enabled supply chains to propulsion technologies .
Meanwhile , exhibitors can learn about composites circularity , the future of
composites and digitalisation being the key to productivity at the composites forum . Attendees can also see Pim van Baarsen , CEO at Silverstone Technology Cluster , and Lucy Parsons , Sales Account Manager at Nikon Metrology UK , who will be discussing and showcasing innovative products at the automotive forum .
Advanced Engineering will also showcase groundbreaking innovations throughout its exhibition area . One of these is the prototype of the ThrustWSH boat . In what is a collaborative effort with PRF Composites , ThrustWSH has achieved the world land speed record and will allow visitors to see whether the boat can conquer the water speed record at the show .
In addition , MGI Engineering is speeding ahead in their journey to net zero and will demonstrate never seen before technologies to the sector , including an F1 car and eVTOL drones . Meanwhile , SCU Motorsport has also booked up an exclusive exhibitor spot , pioneering its 3D learning environment for students that will involve augmented reality , virtual reality and mixed reality technologies .
It ’ s clear to see why this year ’ s expanded floor plan is quickly filling up . One of last year ’ s exhibitors , George Chetwood , Business Development Manager at Cognitiv Spark , said , “ The show has been great — we ’ ve met so many new people and had great conversations . We ’ ve met clients that we ’ ve already been in talks with and have advanced those conversations . Our director has secured a spot next year , so we ’ ll be back then .”
Lee Brent , Sales Manager for Southwest Fabrications , commented , “ This is our first year exhibiting at Advanced Engineering but it will not be our last . After a friendly and helpful team helped us decide on our stand in the most appropriate location , we have seen a tremendous amount of visitors flow through our stand , with over 100 individual companies interested in the products and services we offer . We have been so pleased with our experience and look forward to exhibiting for many years to come .”
