This inclusive event (the latest in a well-received and successful series) will bring together key stakeholders and the broader UK community in the field of metamaterials. The focus is to address how this valuable expertise can be directed to explore key growth markets, market size, potential for growth and collaboration and new market opportunities in various application areas.
The showcase is part of the KTN’s Showcasing Emerging Technologies (SET) series, and the event will build upon the successful UK Metamaterials Community event held at Brown's, London, in January 2018. Our aim is to help disseminate emerging metamaterials technologies that can be commercialised or have a positive impact on society or the environment and to develop a structured programme of support for the UK metamaterials community.
