The MTI - MIRA Technology Institute - opened a year ago on the MIRA Technology Park to deliver specialist skills for the global automotive industry.

Inspiring students with a bespoke curriculum, the MTI is a partnership led by North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College, HORIBA MIRA, Coventry University, Loughborough University and the University of Leicester. It cultivates the skills necessary to operate at the cutting edge of automotive technology, particularly focusing on disruptive industries including electrification and driverless cars.

A multi million pound automotive training, events and conference centre enables the MTI to provide workshops and deliver hands on innovative engineering training including for electric and hybrid vehicles which requires total flexibility of space. The aim is for the MTI to become a natural base to develop or learn essential skills for current and future automotive industry leaders, engineers, technicians and business professionals working or aspiring to work in the automotive sector.

We will hear from Lisa Bingley, MTI Operations Director about the MTI’s mission to become a global centre of excellence and our visit will end with a guided tour.
