Join us for a full‑day technical forum exploring how graphene is transforming protective coatings and formulation technologies. This free event brings together technical expertise from Graphene@Manchester, industry leaders and sector associations to discuss the latest breakthroughs in 2D materials and their real‑world applications.

Thanks to graphene’s exceptional strength, thermal conductivity and chemical stability, coatings can be made thinner, more durable and more sustainable. We’ll look at the science, hear from companies already using the technology, and tour GEIC’s state‑of‑the‑art facilities.

This event is relevant to professionals in marine, aerospace, automotive, defence, construction, medical, packaging, transportation, renewables/green tech, electronics, consumer goods and textiles.

Spaces are limited - please join the waiting list; we will confirm your place by email. If you can no longer attend after receiving a place, please let us know so we can offer your spot to someone else.
