You present your final slide. Two words on it: "Thank you". You've been talking for an hour. The OEM politely thanks you and says, "We'll get in touch". He won't.

This is not a marketing problem. It's not even a capability problem. You likely have the right tech that the OEM needs.

It is a visibility problem, happening long before anyone makes a choice. By the time the RFQ is written or the funding round opens, the shortlist already exists in people's heads. The names on it earned their place earlier, by being understood. This session closes that gap. Not with more slides or louder marketing, but with one practical tool you can use the moment you leave the room. We will rebuild a pitch live, together. You will not watch a theory. You will help run it. You will leave with a method you can apply to your next pitch, event, RFQ, or investor conversation. Bring the project you most need someone to understand.

Are you thinking about attracting the eyes of investors, raising bank finance, scaling up or diversifying your product portfolio? With the arrival of serious money into the sector, motorsports and low-volume automotive OEMs are evolving into a serious alternative asset class and a production capacity opportunity.

Join this conversation that cuts through the noise to give you clarity into the business and commercial opportunities as well as the tribulations to be mindful of you venture on this business development journey. How has the market dynamic changed in recent times, what are investors looking for, to the risks of moving from low volume to serial production, and the opportunities to use your skills base to serve other non-automotive sectors.

As the 2027 season regulation cycle demands faster, higher-fidelity data pipelines than ever before, hear how columnar data formats, specifically Apache Parquet, are quietly revolutionising the way race teams ingest, store and interrogate telemetry at scale. With over a million data points collected per second across hundreds of onboard sensors, the challenge is no longer just capturing the data; it's structuring it so that simulation engineers, vehicle dynamics leads and strategy teams can query race-weekend datasets in milliseconds rather than minutes.

The transition to electrified high-performance mobility presents far more than a powertrain challenge. For specialist vehicle manufacturers and engineering businesses operating across UK, European and North American markets, it demands new approaches to engineering, software, regulation, certification and commercialisation.

Join Rhodri Darch and Doug Cross from Powered by Everrati as they share how Everrati has transformed some of the world's most iconic vehicles through advanced electric propulsion while developing the engineering capability, software and technology platforms that underpin its success. Drawing on the experience of delivering complex engineering programmes across multiple international markets they have accessed they will discuss the practical challenges of electrification, the evolving regulatory and certification landscape, and how Everrati's agility as a specialist low-volume OEM enables it to navigate changing requirements across multiple international markets. Through real engineering examples, they will share the lessons learned, the organisational mindset required to build globally competitive specialist mobility businesses, and their perspective on the future of high-performance electric vehicles.

Today’s world of motorsport is the product of a range of sophisticated engineering and computational capabilities, from wind tunnels and CFD applications to advanced simulation environments. While the industry understands these technologies well, the growing scale and complexity of computational workloads often creates challenges when forecasting the true cost of computation beyond the initial hardware investment.

Join this session to understand practical strategies for engineering managers to accurately forecast and streamline the total cost of ownership and avoid unnecessary expenditure, focusing on:

The world of AI is changing fast, there is a realisation that cloud based LLMs don’t have all the answers, where major silicon providers are pivoting to physical AI on the edge. The challenges current LLMs have with physical AI is they are probabilistic and do not understand the physical world or context around them, which means they remain in a dream like state. Graphdome provides a nervous system that grounds LLMs into the real world in a private, sustainable and scalable, knowledge graph.

Find out how Graphdome’s edge reasoning LLUMEN is causing paradigm shifts across multiple markets from Battle Tanks to EV cars demonstrating superior physical grounded reasoning at a fraction of the GPU and power consumption and what that can mean for the motorsport and hypercar markets.

OEM – Ford and Tier1 – Bosch alongside Additive Manufacturing Machine provider – Nikon SLM will demonstrate and present how cooperation will make it happened.

With rising demand for lightweight and high-performance automotive components pace and sale of need, coupled with signals to reduce production time and developmental costs, additive manufacturing growing its scope in where it can provide solutions. From improved efficiency to reduced material waste, to production grade load bearing, performance-critical components AM has come out to play. Join this touch it, feel it, see it session on manufacturing what was formerly impossible with traditional methods.

The ECU has evolved from engine management into the central nervous system of a performance vehicle, with the rate of change accelerating. With transitions to zonal and central computing architectures that help enable more scalable, SDVs that support advanced features, today coupled with the integration of gen AI and machine learning, magic is coming to life, with performance engineers in the pit lane. The 2027 seasons winners will be those who can crunch the heavy data, interpret it, and decide the fastest. For engineers sourcing or specifying control systems for new programmes, understanding the electronic architecture available, and what they unlock, join this session to explore the latest in cutting-edge ECU capability and AI-assisted calibration capabilities and real-time adaptive strategy.

Hands-on session focused on real motorsports engineering workflows. We will walk through how AI agents can be applied across different data sources, such as telemetry, timing data, simulation outputs, video, and driver feedback, to reduce manual analysis and speed up engineering decisions. Engineers will get access to our AI agent platform with sample motorsports data to run analyses on their own.
