A free-to-attend exhibition and conference that brings advanced materials, technical ceramics, and battery & EV technology together under one roof.
Battery Cells & Systems Expo, Vehicle Electrification Expo, The Advanced Materials Show and The Advanced Ceramics Show are returning to the NEC, Birmingham, this July 9-10th 2025.
Battery technology, energy storage systems, vehicle electrification, advanced materials, and ceramics are industries that are somehow connected with Additive Manufacturing. Having all these sectors under one roof provides an opportunity to explore solutions designed to enhance performance, reduce costs, and accelerate development cycles.
Gain critical insights from a multi-track, expert-led conference programme that addresses pressing topics such as market trends, technological advancements, evolving regulations, and policy updates. These sessions are designed to equip you with the knowledge you need to stay compliant, competitive, and forward-thinking.
You will hear from industry leaders across 6 conference stages including speakers from JLR, ABB, UKBIC, Ford Europe, T&E UK, Horiba Mira, University of Manchester, Lucideon, Henry Royce Institute, Rolls-Royce, Aerospace Technology Institute, Ceramics UK, and many more. Gain invaluable industry insights in sessions such as ‘EV Regulations in Flux: Choosing the Best Path for Your Business’, ‘Finding the Limits of Battery Performance Through Advanced Testing’, ‘Beyond Borders: Global Trade, Tariffs, and the Future of EVs’, ‘Unlocking UK Economic Growth Through Materials Innovation’, ‘Live Podcast Session: How Small Can We Go? A Deep Dive into Microfabrication in Advanced Materials’ and more.
“I feel it’s very important to have this coherent talk, putting everyone under one roof, so you can collaborate on innovative approaches to address challenges together – I think that’s very crucial for the industry moving forward,” Serena Xiao, Research Executive, Simpson Carpenter
Collaboration is key to progress, and this event fosters cross-sector conversations around shared challenges like decarbonisation, circularity, and supply chain resilience. Join thought leaders and solution providers to develop scalable strategies that move both your business and the industry forward.
The heart of the show takes place in the expo hall, where you will connect with over 300 exhibitors and have the chance to build strategic partnerships. Exhibitors Include Advanced Carbons Council, Yokogawa UK, Verder Scientific, Semilab, Innovate UK, Guardtech Group, Forge Nano, EVera Recruitment, BioLogic, ABB and more. The exhibition hall will bring together the entire supply chain across the battery, EV, technical ceramics and advanced materials industry.
You’ll also connect with a diverse and influential network of professionals from across the battery, electrification, materials, and ceramics value chains at dedicated networking receptions. The receptions will provide the ideal setting to build strategic partnerships with manufacturers, engineers, suppliers, researchers, and policymakers all under one roof.
“Having all of these four shows together really enables the conversation around innovation, because actually that is what an event like this can really do – spark the conversations, make the connections in industry where innovation is everything, because they’re so fast-moving and the goal posts are changed all the time.” – Maria Bengtsson, Partner, EY
