The North East Automotive Expo 2026 returns as the region's premier event for automotive innovation, collaboration, and growth. As the flagship event for the North East Automotive Alliance (NEAA), it brings together the entire automotive supply chain—from leading Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and tiered suppliers to technology innovators and industry stakeholders. This event is designed to showcase cutting-edge developments, build strategic partnerships, and explore new growth opportunities within one of the UK’s most significant automotive clusters.
Attendees can expect a day packed with high-value activities. The Main Stage will feature presentations from industry leaders discussing the latest trends, such as electrification, digital manufacturing, and sustainable supply chains. The large exhibition hall will host over 100 supply chain exhibitors, providing a physical marketplace for businesses to display their latest products and services. One of the most anticipated features is the "Meet the Buyer" sessions, which offer structured opportunities for suppliers to engage in strategic discussions with procurement teams from major manufacturers.
Additionally, the Technology Showcase will highlight innovative solutions shaping the future of mobility, providing a glimpse into the R&D currently driving the sector. With dedicated networking areas, the expo is the perfect environment to connect with peers, spark new collaborations, and engage with the key decision-makers who are steering the UK automotive sector toward a greener and more efficient future.
