Are you driving innovation in materials science, engineering, or sustainable design?

Are you a tier 1 OEM or tier 2 supplier that can outline your needs and the commercial trends you see emerging?

Materials Week USA is calling on pioneering researchers, thought leaders, and industry innovators to share their insights at the continent’s leading event dedicated to materials and their applications.

This is your opportunity to:

• Present ground-breaking research, novel materials, and transformative manufacturing technologies.
• Showcase solutions to critical challenges across key industries including automotive, aerospace, energy, construction, medical, electronics, and manufacturing.
• Discuss advancements in materials characterization, testing, lifecycle assessment, and circular design.
• Connect with a diverse audience of engineers, scientists, manufacturers, decision-makers and buyers from across the materials value chain.

We welcome dynamic presentations on topics including, but not limited to – advanced composites, nanomaterials, additive manufacturing, bio-based materials, smart materials, materials for energy systems, sustainability in materials development, and future trends shaping the global materials landscape.

• Day 1 – Innovate

Discover tomorrow’s materials, technologies and market opportunities. Get a preview of the R&D pipeline.

Explore the R&D pipeline, competitive landscape, and market dynamics shaping the sector. This is where we dig into growth trajectories, emerging applications, and the geopolitical forces reshaping supply chains. Ideal for those tracking trends, sizing opportunities, or informing product strategy.

• Day 2 –Manufacture 

Learn how leading organisations are improving production, efficiency and scale

Deep dive into upstream and downstream operations – from raw materials through production to market delivery. For operators, engineers, and process specialists working at scale. This day focuses on the realities of production, efficiency, and the technical decisions that move molecules.

• Day 3 – The Buyers forum 

Hear directly from OEMs and buyers about future demand, sourcing priorities and supplier opportunities.

Where Tier 1 OEMs and Tier 2 suppliers set out what’s being bought, why it matters, and what’s needed next across the value chain. Focused, practical sessions that give decision-makers a clear view of real demand, supplier expectations, and where the current and next commercial opportunities sit.
