Learn about the power of collaboration at the C2I 2017 conference

Featuring presentations from the winners of The Engineer’s 2017 Collaborate to Innovate awards and keynote talks on major issues relating to engineering collaboration, this year’s event represents an unrivalled opportunity to hear from some of the industry’s sharpest minds and learn directly from practical examples of collaboration in action.

This year, we're delighted to welcome Sir Vince Cable, leader of the liberal democrats and former secretary of state for business. Dr Cable will talk about the importance of engineering to the wider economy and comment on some of the key advantages and challenges of the collaborative process.

We're also excited to welcome another major figure in the UK manufacturing landscape, Professor Rajkumar Roy - Director of Manufacturing at Cranfield University, who will examine the benefits of cross-sector collaboration, and look at how effective cross-sector partnerships can be built.
