Future Mobility at UK House - Automotive

Organiser

The UK Government is delighted to invite you to discover the latest thinking, innovations, success stories and solutions in the Automotive and Future Mobility Industry. Building on the cooperative spirit of the Commonwealth Games and the UK’s climate leadership at COP26, UK House is a forum for an exclusive in-person and virtual audience of businesses and government officials from around the world.

Taking place during Birmingham 2022, UK House is a platform to bring together businesses, key decision makers and governments to discover opportunities for partnership and innovations for sustainable growth. Over the next two decades, transport technology will change faster than at any time since the Victorian era. In place of cars powered by fossil fuels and internal combustion engines, we will have electric and autonomous vehicles, with two Gigafactories already announced in the North East and planning permission granted for a West Midlands Gigafactory. High speed rail will transform journeys between our major cities, and hugely enhance freight capacity. Drones will deliver goods to people’s houses. And people will continue to produce and use more data than ever before, with profound implications for transport.

We live in a time of unprecedented change in the transport system. Changes in the nature of working and shopping, new technologies and behaviours – such as automation, vehicle electrification and the sharing economy – are already having an impact on how the system functions, while the intersection of the physical and digital realms is changing how transport is planned and used. These developments bring exciting possibilities which, if grasped, will bring significant social benefits.

We would like to invite you to join us for a 2 day trade and investment programme at UK House, Birmingham.

 

Thursday 4th August

Session one: Vehicle Technology and Electrification

This session will focus on ‘Why the UK/Region for Vehicle Technology?’ It will explore challenges to the commercialisation of electrification, how the business model might work without government subsidies and present solutions for reducing the cost base for manufacturers to move away from petrol engines.

Session two: Infrastructure and Electrification

This session focuses on the wider infrastructure to enable electrification, from the availability of charging stations to winning consumer confidence and acceptance.

Session three: Transport Innovation Across the Commonwealth

Friday 5th August: Roadshow - West Midlands

Visit to best in class exemplar organisations in the West Midlands, highlighting opportunities for research, testing, collaboration and investment.

Spaces are limited so early registration is advised. We’d love for you to become a part of this special event and look forward to welcoming you.

Client testimonials

Without the Growth Hubs help and assistance, we would never have been able to increase our sales & output and also grow our local business. With this help in purchasing new equipment we have expanded our operations and gained a new and increased customer base.

Nuneaton Roof Truss,

Over the past few years, Armstrongs has built up a fantastic relationship with Gary Thyeson from the Growth Hub. His advice on grants and funding has been really valuable to both Armstrongs and some of our clients. His knowledge of local business support has been helpful in signposting us to relevant support agencies as required. We look forward to working with Laura Delahunty moving forwards.

MES Systems Limited,

I have had an excellent experience working with Laura from the Growth Hub, from day one, she was taking detailed attention to my concerns and ideas.

I feel this support definitely had a positive impact in my plans.

It’s been a fantastic inaugural eight months for the TalentTech Recruitment team and, although the reality of setting up and running a company can be a somewhat daunting experience, we have been extremely grateful for the superb help, advice and guidance given to us along our journey by Gavin Barnett and the team at CW Growth Hub. Gavin’s introductions to both Warwick & Coventry Universities and his wider business network have been absolutely invaluable.

Exeter Analytical (UK) Limited,

Thank you for the comprehensive and professional guidance

Burbidge & Son Ltd,

Over the years since the Growth Hub was set up we have habitually gone to our Account Manager as a one-stop shop for all business-related information.  It has been a really convenient way of finding suppliers, advisors and, on one occasion, we even asked for assistance with finding customers.  We are invited to a wide range of business events including business development workshops, Brexit roundtable discussions, seminars on various topics and have also been asked to speak at some events.  When we have needed additional information, for example, finding finance sources or help with selecti
