Midlands SMEs gathered at the fitting venue of the British Motor Museum in Warwickshire on 10 November to hear from businesses and industry associations working in aerospace, health & life sciences, motorsport, rail and nuclear about exciting recent developments and current and future opportunities in the region to diversify and collaborate. The event was delivered by Aerospace Unlocking Potential, which is led by University of Nottingham in partnership with MAA, and supports Midlands based SMEs to diversify into and out of aerospace and aviation
Starting from the shared understanding that great ideas and technologies from businesses that are experts in one sector can be applied to solve problems in another – the event sought to assist by providing a forum for Midlands SMEs to network across all sectors and learn from one another.
Speaking about the event, MAA Chief Executive, Andrew Mair, said, “We were pleased to work alongside our partner organisations and welcome SMEs from different sectors to the Aerospace UP Open House event. We hope the event was instrumental in starting conversations that will lead to a stronger regional economy through collaboration and technology crossovers in our engineering supercluster. We’re planning to build on this great start by keeping our companies engaged in conversations about growing opportunities in all sectors – even beyond those represented here”
Key information and examples of cross-sector collaboration and diversification shared at the event included:
