For 2023, we are bringing you the TWI Innovation Network (TWIIN) Annual Convention even bigger and better than last year!
Taking place on Thursday 15 June 2023, we are once again holding it in-person – and looking forward to welcoming TWI Industrial and Innovation Network Members, industry and academic partners and associates, and colleagues from Europe and farther afield – to TWI Cambridge, UK. Register now to book your place.
With the focus firmly on innovation, the TWIIN Convention 2023 will provide deep insights into how you can tap into, and harness, project opportunities, grant funding, mutual collaborations and business acceleration initiatives to enable new engineering technologies development within your company or organisation.
The speakers for this year’s event bring with them a wealth of knowledge and experience in their specialist areas, and together will share with you the latest Government direction and thinking, the strategies they know work the best for unlocking technology research and development (R&D), how academia and industry are working together to tackle the crucial issue of net zero and more.
The TWIIN Convention 2023 will be opened by James Foden, Section Manager, Technology Innovation Management at TWI, who will give a brief introduction to TWIIN, and its unique ecosystem for fostering collaborative R&D between like-minded companies and organisations internationally.
