Dates announced for Advanced Engineering 2025

Advanced Engineering UK is set return to the NEC, Birmingham, on 29 and 30 October 2025, showcasing the latest innovations from the manufacturing and engineering sectors. With just seven months remaining, the exhibition halls are filling up as companies across the supply chain secure their spots. Currently, 70% of the space is already booked, so interested exhibitors are advised to act promptly to reserve their place.

Following a record-breaking 2024 event that welcomed over 9,800 professionals, Advanced Engineering 2025 is gearing up for another successful year. Providing a platform for engineering and manufacturing professionals to connect, the show organisers are planning for two action-packed days where visitors will gain access to cutting-edge technologies, expert-led conference sessions and networking opportunities.

For exhibitors, Advanced Engineering offers an opportunity to showcase the latest solutions in composites, automation, additive manufacturing (AM), testing, sustainability and more. With access to over 9,000 industry leaders from Tier One suppliers and OEMs, businesses can position themselves at the forefront of industry transformation, helping manufacturers overcome critical challenges such as supply chain resilience and the journey to ‘net zero’.

Multiple forums
Alongside the exhibition, visitors can expect over 200 expert speakers delivering insight across multiple forums, tackling key industry topics such as digitalisation, supply chain resilience and sustainability. Plus, in response to the ongoing skills shortage in the UK engineering and manufacturing sectors, Advanced Engineering is continuing its ‘MINDTHEskillsGAP’ initiative.

This campaign aims to address the critical skills gap by allowing collaboration between industry leaders, educational institutions and policymakers to develop effective training and recruitment strategies. By participating in the event, businesses can contribute to and benefit from efforts to build a skilled workforce for the future.

Simon Farnfield, event director at Easyfairs, the organiser of Advanced Engineering, said: “This exhibition is where the UK’s engineering and manufacturing community comes together to share ideas, do business and, ultimately, drive the industry forward. Every year, we see the latest innovations on the show floor and the energy from exhibitors and visitors proves just how important this event is. We can’t wait to be back in 2025 with even more opportunities for businesses to connect and make an impact.”

The show is again supported by a range of industry partners, including the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), Composites UK, Make UK, UKRI, the UK Space Agency, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, GAMBICA, BARA, the Department for Business and Trade and ADS Group, which will be running its Meet the Buyer progamme once again this year. Such partnerships, along many more, help the show to stay on top of the latest issues arising in the manufacturing and engineering industry, passing knowledge on these topics on to its visitors.

Machinery Market is a media partner to the show and will be distributing copies of its special show issue to visitors from its stand. To advertise in this special issue or to supply editorial please email: .
