Dr Justin Hayward, Director of CIR, says:

I am delighted to welcome the Airbus team through Martin Agnew, Head of Innovation Projects, to speak and support us in building the best ever HVM Conference in Cambridge. We founded this series in 2002 and have welcomed a prestigious line-up including Nobel Prizewinners such as Prof Sir John Gurdon, leading statespeople such as Lord Sainsbury, top entrepreneurs such as Hermann Hauser, and leading local businesspeople such as Sir Michael Marshall CBE. I believe that the way we've pulled together the HVM with the New Materials in these larger industry sectors will be a cross-over at content and networking levels that generate much value. We welcome colleagues to contact us and get involved!
