Following a highly successful inaugural Industrial Connections NEL in March 2025 we are excited to announce that Industrial Connections NEL will be taking place once again in 2026.
This full-day event exclusively for industrial sector businesses and those in the industrial supply chain brings together industry leaders and professionals for a day of networking, collaboration, and opportunity.
- Free to exhibit and attend
- Guest speakers
- Opportunities to connect, collaborate, and grow
- Free lunch provided
This completely free to attend event is open to attendees from all locations (exhibitors must operate within NEL). In March 2025 we welcomed 200+ attendees from 110+ organisations through the doors, providing a valuable platform for manufacturing, engineering, chemicals & process, energy & renewables, ports & logistics, and food manufacturing/processing sectors to come together to spark conversation, connect and share expertise.
Hosted once again by regional business expert Dave Laister, the InvestNEL team promise a packed programme including the main exhibition, networking opportunities, and speaking sessions from our guest speakers. Guest speakers include Barry Taylor (OLG) who will be talking about successful collaboration between NEL businesses and Dr Janet Bellamy who will talk about the exciting world of automation and AI in industry.
If you own or work within an industrial sector business, register today and help us grow the momentum of collaborations and connection across our North East Lincolnshire industrial sectors.
This event is only open to businesses operating within our key industrial sectors of; Manufacturing, Chemical & Process, Ports & Logistics, Energy, Renewables, Food Manufacturing/Processing.
