Autonomatic presents at Material KTN AGM

Tavs Jorgensen from Autonomatic was invited to present at the recent Material Knowledge Transfer Network’s Annual General Meeting at the Church House Conference Centre in Westminster. The theme of the meeting was advanced materials for use in space and the use of space age materials in consumer product. The event featured interesting keynote talks from the leading figures in the European Space agency.

Material KTN is umbrella organisation as an “overarching network of networks in Materials, set up to bring together the views of all in business, design, research and technology organizations, trade associations, the financial market, academia and others in the value network across the materials community”.
