Ahead of the UK’s largest industrial show, the MTA as organisers are asking visitors and exhibitors at MACH 2026 to provide a snapshot of your thoughts on how the Industrial Strategy is progressing.
With defence spending and global conflict increasing, there also seems to be a growing demand for countries to increase ‘sovereign supply’, reducing their reliance on international rivals for the supply of critical parts.
We would be interested to know if companies are witnessing this on the ground and if they have the capability to meet a national push if required.
We are offering a free parking ticket, valid for one of the days of MACH, to the first 100 responses that we receive – make sure you enter your email address below so we can send this to you.
