Join us for a discussion with a delegation of Chinese manufacturing economic leaders.
We are looking to host leaders in automotive remanufacturing, reuse and the circular economy in Sussex for a unique opportunity to meet senior economic leaders from China's Heijin province.
We are looking to bring together manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, fleet operators, innovators and business leaders. The session will look at how remanufacturing can reduce material use and carbon emissions while strengthening supply chains, creating skilled jobs and opening new commercial opportunities.
The event will showcase a booming sector in China alongside sector activity in Sussex, meet businesses already doing this and explore what is needed to make the region a leading centre for remanufacturing in collaboration with China.
Whether you already remanufacture components, sell new automotive parts, manage vehicles or are simply interested in the commercial potential of circular manufacturing, this is an opportunity to meet others across the sector and help shape what comes next.
