Revolutionising UK Manufacturing: Innovation Alley 2025
Located at the very heart of Smart Factory Expo, Innovation Alley is the UK's leading showcase of all the new and developing technologies that will change the landscape of manufacturing over the next 5-10 years.
2024 saw ground-breaking new solutions from the next wave of tech and consultancy businesses targeting the UK manufacturing sector.
Visitors were able to meet and engage with early-stage companies and their founders to uncover game-changing opportunities waiting for their business.
The Alley is open to university spin-outs, start-ups and scale-ups who are less than 5 years old, employ less than 10 members of staff, have an innovative digital product or service targeting manufacturers.
Over 300 past exhibitors are now part of the Innovation Alley Alumni which provides access to a wealth of support, brand exposure, funding, and collaboration opportunities from across the innovation ecosystem, in the UK and internationally.
