Event Overview

Announcing the second event of the “Electronics Enabling the Low Carbon Economy” Network, we  focus on the automotive sector and are delighted to be working in partnership with SMMT, the automotive industry trade body. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about the future of Automotive Technology and where Electronics plays a key enabling role.

It’s well-recognised that electronics is a major part of automobile value.  With the continuing rapid pace of developments in semiconductors and the emergence of the volume electric vehicle market, NMI believes there are now significant new opportunities in the automotive electronics supply chain.  Working closely with SMMT, we have aimed this event at bringing together the automotive electronics supply chain from semiconductor materials to major automotive companies.  This event will explore these opportunities from the both supply and demand perspectives and will provide a focal point for building greater understanding of technology capability and market requirements. 

Vehicle Exhibition ( Available on both days )

Dont miss the chance to see the future of Low Carbon motoring up close with Demonstrator Vehicles from:

• TATA Motors
• Warwick F3 Race car made from renewable materials
