High Performance Engineering Mission @UK motorsports valley And Race Tech Motorsport Symposium 2023

A dynamic 2-days fact-finding mission to the UK's mecca of motorsport and the exclusive ecosystem in performance engineering, aiming at generating business opportunities and fostering R&D collaborations for Swiss high-tech companies in the UK.

Britain leads the world in motorsport. Several leading F1 teams are based in and around the Motorsport Valley®, including McLaren, Williams, Mercedes and Lotus. The industry employs thousands and contributes billions to the economy.
In 2023 we organize for the fourth time a business trip to the heart of motorsports. The epicenter of motorsports is home to 8 out of 10 Formula 1 racing teams and is home to countless technology and engineering service providers in the field of motorsports, automotive but also the medtech industry or retail.

2 days filled with business opportunities in the motorsport environment including an exclusive VIP dinner at the invitation of our ambassador in the UK, Mr. Markus Leitner.
Following the fact finding mission, the international World Motorsport Symposium will take place at the Swiss Embassy in London, another exclusive opportunity for Swiss companies to network with important local companies.
