The UK remains a global force for engineering and manufacturing, driving innovation, leading on the industrial agenda, the green economy and Industry 4.0, and being at the forefront of the response to the global pandemic. However in a post-Covid and post-Brexit world, Britain’s standing, and its future, will require engineering and manufacturing to grow and strengthen.
Manufacturing and Engineering Week (M&E Week), seeks to celebrate the sector, showcasing the UK’s leading companies, sharing successes and future insight, and raising critical discussion. It is also a destination for professionals to source products and services in order to keep them competitive.
M&E Week features a dynamic, interactive series of digital and all-new live events showcasing end-to-end manufacturing and engineering solutions to propel the future of engineering and manufacturing in this country.
The week will feature digital sessions on Tuesday (7 June 2022), followed by live events on Wednesday and Thursday (8-9 June 2022) with a round-up and key takeaways to finish the week on Friday (10 June 2022)
The live events take place at the NEC Birmingham from 8 to 9 June 2022, including:
