East Midlands-based companies invited to composites event

NetComposites and Leap Ahead are delighted to invite you to an event to define and promote the needs of the composites sector within the East Midlands. The event builds on the results from a workshop held in February 2010 where the needs for the region were identified.

The aim of the event is two-fold:

  • To meet both industry and education requirements from the employer perspective and to ensure that the education institutions are able to meet and understand the needs of the sector
  • To initiate the formation of an East Midlands Composites Cluster

The event will take place on Thursday 10 June 2010 at Chartwells on Pride Park in Derby.
