On-Site Industrial Exhibitions

INTRODUCTION

In 2023/2024 we will have been organisers of exhibitions and events that promote technology transfer and innovation across the UK’s Science, Engineering and Technology communities for more than 30 years. Nearly three decades have passed since we launched our first event targeting the nuclear sector in 1993 and as a testament to our novel approach, our exhibitions and events have become a regular feature of many key industrial, manufacturing and scientific research sites around the UK where their workforces have a genuine appetite to engage with solution providers.

Because of this, our events are widely recognised as an effective route for companies wishing to demonstrate their products, services and capabilities directly to members of UK industry giving them an opportunity to do so in an environment which is not normally possible any other way.

By continuing to work closely with major host organisations we strive to enhance supply chain development through the promotion of technology transfer and innovation, allowing those involved in the assessment, provision or purchasing of science, engineering and technology components an opportunity to visit the exhibitions during their working day.

With many of our exhibitions being based inside the secure areas of key industrial, scientific & manufacturing sites, these events give exhibiting companies an opportunity to make vital contacts and showcase their latest technological developments whilst also gaining first-hand knowledge from attending staff about the ongoing and future needs of the host site - all in a unique and highly informative setting.
