EVENT Advanced Engineering 2022
Advanced Engineering show returns to the NEC this November
T
here’s just a few weeks to go until the doors open for Advanced Engineering 2022, the UK’s largest gathering of engineering
and manufacturing professionals. Taking place at the NEC, Birmingham on November 2 and 3, the event will bring together professionals from aerospace, marine, automotive, defence, advanced metals, connected manufacturing and a lot more. There are already several speakers
confi rmed for the show’s four forums – aerospace, automotive, connected manufacturing and composites. At the automotive forum, visitors will meet experts from Siemens, Britishvolt, the Aluminium Federation, the University of Strathclyde, IDTechEx, Ford, Jaguar Land Rover and Xi Engineering, who will cover topics ranging from electrifi cation to the digitalisation of vehicle development. At the composites forum, Composites UK CEO, David Bailey, will return along with the National Composites Centre’s chief technology offi cer, Enrique Garcia. Prodrive Composites and B&M Longworth will also take to the stage. Visitors to the event will also fi nd Alan Banks, innovations manager at Ford, presenting at the composites forum over both days, covering topics such as the future of

the UK’s composite sector and the UK’s automotive materials strategy for a net- zero circular economy. On the aerospace forum, there will be
presentations on sustainability, supply chains, digitalisation and automation from Rolls-Royce and Airbus. Finally, the connected manufacturing forum will be open on day one with a talk from Stephen Phipson, CEO of Make UK, followed by a day covering sustainability, digitalisation, artifi cial intelligence and cybersecurity. On day two, the forum will wrap up with talks on the supply chain and additive manufacturing, and there will be an eye-opening presentation on the role of UK manufacturing by keynote Bhavina Bharkhada, Head of Policy and Campaigns at Make UK. This year, Advanced Engineering will showcase a new range of features across the show fl oor. Advanced manufacturing experts from the University of Manchester will give a glimpse into what human life in space could look like, with a graphene- enhanced space habitat that has been developed to meet anticipated demand for human settlements beyond Earth. The university has teamed up with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill to research the design and manufacturing of the habitats, and are now in a position to bring
along a scaled prototype, complete with pressurised vessels designed to function in space. Two innovations born out of the Formula Student competition will also be on show, with Oxford Brookes Racing and Warwick Racing both demonstrating the power of electric in the formula circuit. A recent survey conducted by Advanced Engineering in conjunction with YouGov found that 54% of respondents were unlikely to own an EV by 2030. The aim of both, Warwick and Oxford Brookes, is to demonstrate that electric vehicles can succeed not only on the roads, but also on the track.
In line with its ambition to enable
cross-industry collaboration, Advanced Engineering is excited to announce that Bcomp, a leading solutions provider for natural fi bre reinforcements in high- performance applications will also showcase a range of components. These components are regularly used in various sports, including motorsport, but also automotive interiors, luxury sailing yachts, bridges and satellite panels.
