• • • MANUFACTURING AND ENGINEERING WEEK • • • Selected from well-known experts in their


field, the Advisory Council meet regularly, chaired by Stephen Phipson CBE, chief executive of Make UK. Libby Meyrick, chief executive of the Institution


of Design Engineers, a member of the Advisory Council, said: “Design doesn’t stop – it’s dynamic, forthright and exciting, and the IED is supporting the launch of the Design Engineering Expo to help showcase all of these elements and the outstanding work of the design community now and in the future.” As part of Nineteen Group’s support for


diversity and promoting women in engineering, half of the Advisory board is made up of prominent women in their respective fields. Manufacturing & Engineering Week is also


supported by many other leading organisations, including:


• The Women’s Engineering Society, an organisation that promotes women’s education in engineering;


Exhibitions Visit stands from some of the most innovative and forward-thinking companies within the world of design engineering. See live demonstrations which really bring the latest technology to life and learn what the latest innovations can do for your business. Exhibitors include Omron Electrics, Photronix, MiniTec UK and Cambridge Industrial Design.


Digital sessions If Covid-19 taught us anything, it is how useful digital technology can be for business. This year, supplementing the in-person elements of the event, Manufacturing and Engineering Week 2022 will offer a selection of online session on topics impacting the industry hosted by major players in the sector including Juergen Maier CBE who is chair of the Digital Catapult, co-Chair of Made Smarter and serves on the Industrial Strategy Council which advises the UK Government on Industrial Strategy. Delegates can register for access to these


webinars and watch them on-demand at a time that is convenient to them.


Innovation Zone With innovation at the heart of design engineering, Design Engineering Expo’s very own innovation zone is a key part of the event. See the latest solutions in action with live demonstrations of some of the most ingenious technologies and learn how they could be put into practice in your own engineering environment. Sponsored by Arrow, a global provider of


technology products, services and solutions, the Innovation Zone will showcase live demonstrations of the UK’s most cutting-edge products, helping visitors discover the latest technologies that are shaping the future of British industry. Highlights will include an AI car and the world’s


first VTOL biplane, displayed by Coventry University’s Formula Student and UAS Challenge Teams, in association with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, plus an Aston Martin

Network With the involvement of global leaders in manufacturing and engineering, Design Expo 2022 is a great place to connect with like-minded design engineering professionals and forge new relationships that could you develop your operations. Key opportunities for networking will include a drinks reception on day one of the event with all delegates invited to attend.


Shaped by experts A key ingredient in the creation of Design Engineering Expo has been the involvement of an Advisory Council of UK experts, bringing together experience from across industry, trade associations, professional bodies, government and academia to help shape a programme of radically new events.


• The Institute of Export and International Trade, the professional body for importers and exporters;


• Napier, a B2B technology PR and marketing agency;


• The Institution of Mechanical Engineers; • The Manufacturing Technology Centre – set up to bridge the gap between academia and industry;


• The Advanced Propulsion Centre – facilitates funding for low-carbon emission powertrains;


• High Value Manufacturing Catapult – helps new concepts become commercial;


• Innovate UK – a public body that promotes innovation;


• Made Smarter UK – helps grow manufacturing through digital technologies; and


• The UK government’s Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
