Empowering Growth: Supporting Advanced Manufacturing Capacity for a Sustainable Future

Join Defence iQ’s Advanced Manufacturing for Aerospace & Materiel conference on 26-27 February 2025 at the Mercure Bristol Grand Hotel in Bristol, UK. Building on over a decade of success with our Additive Manufacturing conference, this event provides a premier platform for sharing insights and showcasing groundbreaking advancements. Located in the heart of the UK’s largest aerospace cluster, Bristol is the ideal venue to unite stakeholders from the Advanced Manufacturing and 3D Printing ecosystem to tackle today’s challenges in defence, space, and beyond.

The evolving landscape of Advanced Manufacturing calls for greater efficiency, innovation, and risk reduction. Through collaboration, we can harness emerging technologies, enhance supply chain resilience, and gain critical insights into demand-driven production—especially relevant to today’s threat environment.

During the conference, participants will engage in insightful presentations, thought-provoking panel discussions and engaging networking opportunities. In replacement of our Additive Manufacturing conference, this event conference will ensure an in-depth analysis on the full spectrum of Advanced Manufacturing, covering topics such as Digitalisation, Automation, Generative Design, Digital Twins, in addition to Additive Manufacturing.
