Welcome to the Materials Innovation Network Interaction Meeting (MINIM)

MINIM is a networking event aimed at bringing together finished product manufacturers, intermediary part and processing companies along with other manufacturing-related groups with a common interest in metallic composites and materials, and ceramics. MINIM will enable members to keep updated on the latest news, developments and technological innovations associated with using and processing existing and emerging materials. It aims to provide a stimulating and inspiring environment for best-practice sharing, collaboration and networking.
