Forthcoming Event

BIS: Business Secretary Vince Cable has opened a new exhibition at Science Museum, London to show young people the rewarding career opportunities available in British manufacturing. The exhibition (closes 9 September 2012) is the culmination of the Government’s Make it in Great Britain campaign and will feature a mix of displays from 39 businesses of all sizes including iconic names like McLaren, Mars, BAE and Rolls Royce.
 
Showcasing alongside the businesses are the finalists of the Make it in Great Britain Challenge – a competition to seek out the next big pre-market products or ideas from across the UK.  These include a new technology which could offer relief to tinnitus sufferers and an eco-friendly alternative to everyday cement that could reduce CO2 emissions by up to 90%.
