Join us at Farnborough, 17-20th August 2023

The British Motor Show

Come and see us in hall 2, stand 2030

The IMI is proud to be a partner of The British Motor Show.

Visit us at hall 2 where we’ll be launching our new There's More to Motor Campaign aimed at challenging industry misconceptions at the show. The campaign is designed to help recruit and fill the skills gaps across the sector.

The Tech Hub, sponsored by The IMI, will feature a replica of a full-sized garage service bay and ICE and EV cars, with engaging workshops helping visitors learn more about the technological advances in automotive.

Interactive sessions on the IMI stand will also give visitors first-hand experience of the multitude of career opportunities in the sector, with IMI experts available in both locations to provide more information on to get started.

Find out more about what we do and how you can get involved with The IMI in hall 2, stand 2030.

Each company will have five minutes to pitch their product, with a further five minutes for the host and guest expert to question them and discuss with the audience.
