Strategic Networks

The MIA develops and maintains positive working relationships with the following organisations - to mutual benefit.

• Department for Business, Innovation & Skills (BIS)

• Motor Sports Association (MSA) 

• All Parliamentary Motor Group (APMG) 

• Confederation of British Industry (CBI) 

In the same way that the MIA delivers benefit to its members by working collectively as a group, the MIA's engagement with these outside bodies enables all parties to achieve better, and lasting, results.

The MIA also enjoys excellent working relationships with organisations such as:

• FIA - Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile

• SAE – Society of Automobile Engineers

• IMechE – Institute of Mechanical Engineers

• SMMT – Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders

• Government agencies including: DFT (Department for Transport); DEFRA (Departmant For Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs); DCMS (Departmant for Culture Media and Sport) and the Regional Development Agencies (RDAs) - particularly those within Motorsport Valley®.

The MIA sits as a representative on the steering committee of both Formula Schools and Formula Student, the MIA actively supporting these programmes to help enthuse and encourage the next generation of young engineers who will make their careers in the Motorsport Industry.
