2020 has seen huge challenges for businesses in the motorsport and high-performance engineering sector and the coming weeks will see unprecedented changes taking place at speed. Agile companies in the motorsport community are adapting each day, allowing them to seize new opportunities within motorsport and across adjacent sectors. On the 3 November 2020 the MIA will deliver an online event dedicated to helping businesses restore and regrow during this difficult period.
Key figures from industry will lead discussions and participate in Q&A sessions throughout the event, allowing attendees to ask the questions that will help their businesses succeed in the coming months. These speakers will include business leaders from INDYCAR, British Touring Car Championship, Williams Advanced Engineering, Xtrac. M-Sport and E1 Series.
The MIA Business Growth Conference is a unique event offering the opportunity for the industry to reconnect and to hear an industry specific view on how to tackle the months ahead, where the opportunities lie for business growth and how to diversify into adjacent sectors. Being online for the first time, this popular business conference will attract a wide international audience from the global world of motorsport and high-performance engineering.
As we approach 31 December 2020 understanding new business regulations and controls is yet another challenge facing businesses. Growing a successful independent UK will require significant investment funding from UK government. Increased activity and spending have already started on a variety of energy-efficient motorsport technologies – a key theme that will be explored during the conference to understand where the opportunities are for innovative suppliers in this field.
Chris Aylett, Chief Executive of the MIA said:
‘This conference will be different – it aims to help you restore and regrow your business fast for next year and the future. Now’s the time to build an ever-stronger motorsport business community. The MIA has shown that when we act together, we can make your voice heard by government. Join us on 3 November and hear ideas to help you successfully navigate the next 6 months and beyond!’
Councillor Stephen Clarke, South Northamptonshire Council’s Portfolio Holder for Economy and Regeneration said:
“We are proud to be partnering with this highly innovative event, particularly given how important the theme is at this time.
South Northamptonshire is located at the heart of the motorsport valley and the Oxford-Cambridge Arc, making our District a hub of high-tech innovation. We are dedicated to supporting our local employers, growing the economy and developing the motorsport, automotive and high-tech industries. Despite a thoroughly challenging time, by working in partnership, we can continue to make innovative progression across the motorsport valley and beyond.”
In addition to the conference content attendees can explore the latest cutting-edge technology via the online exhibitor section.
