Silverstone Technology Cluster
The Silverstone Technology Cluster and our members will have an increased presence again at this year’s Advanced Engineering Show at the NEC, Birmingham on 4th and 5th November. The Advanced Engineering Show is the UK’s largest annual exhibition and conference for advanced manufacturers and supply chain professionals. The event takes place over 2 days and attracts close to 15,000 visitors.
With support from founding member, Silverstone Park, we will host the event’s popular VIP Lounge for the fourth consecutive year. As last year, we will have an Innovation Zone adjacent to the VIP Lounge, where 10 member businesses will be able to showcase their latest technologies.
We will also have the opportunity for members in the Innovation Zone to make presentations in any of the show’s forums where relevant.
There is also an opportunity for any STC member who wishes to display an exciting piece of technology at the show such as a car or robot. If you have anything of interest, please speak to Pim.
For 2020, we will receive enhanced pre-show marketing and improved catering for the VIP Lounge so this will be a fantastic opportunity to showcase your business and the cluster as a whole.
