EVENTS
What’s on at Advanced Engineering 2023?
Registration is open for Advanced Engineering, the UK’s largest annual gathering of engineering and manufacturing professionals, held at the NEC, Birmingham on November 1 and 2.
Now in its 14th year, this year’s show comes with a fresh and future-focused rebrand, removing the previous show zones from its exhibition floor and introducing a main stage for the event’s well-attended forums. This year, the long-established composite zone will remain, but the automotive, aerospace and connected manufacturing zones will be removed. However, these sectors will still have a strong presence at the event, with the industry-specific forums remaining. There will also be a main, central stage on this year’s floor plan where discussions about key challenges in the industry will be discussed.
To ensure that visitors and exhibitors can still easily find relevant contacts, Advanced Engineering
exhibitors will now be categorised by the services, products and solutions offered. They will have the opportunity to highlight all of the sectors they work in, removing any limitations created by the specific show zones.
In 2023, Advanced Engineering will welcome back a full speaker programme with representatives from some of the leading companies in UK manufacturing. Last year, attendees were treated to talks from leading industry figures from companies like Siemens, Ford, Jaguar Land Rover, Make UK, Rolls-Royce and Airbus.

The upcoming autumn promises to be quite hectic in the European legislative arena, as the EU will try to conclude key Green Deal initiatives ahead of EU elections next year. Two crucial legislative matters on the agenda for GEIR. We will keep supporting European industry throughout this transition.
The Parliament and the Council (Member States) are currently engaged in ‘trilogue’ negotiations for the Waste Shipment Regulation (WSR). This follows the Council’s adoption of its general approach on May 25, 2023. Notably, the Council has agreed to ban the export of waste for disposal to other EU member states and improved the timelines for prior written notification and consent procedures and supported the modernisation of procedures for intra-EU waste shipments. Looking ahead, a second trilogue is scheduled for September 21.
Marco Codognola, GEIR President
Another noteworthy legislative file is the Waste Framework Directive revision (WFD), which was published in June. As expected, waste oils are not included in the scope. However, GEIR will engage with MEPs and other stakeholder on potential measures to promote waste oils regeneration in the current revision.
Given the urgency to reach agreements before the year’s end, both sets of negotiations are anticipated to conclude with a political agreement by the end of 2023 (in the case of the WSR) and in the first half of 2024 (in the case of the WFD). Nevertheless, considering the vast number of pending files, and the fact that we are entering the pre-electoral period, achieving this will undoubtedly prove to be a challenging endeavor.
