Advanced Engineering UK 2025: Where Global Collaboration Meets Human-Centred Innovation.

Advanced Engineering UK 2025 proved to be a powerful reminder of what’s possible when innovation, partnerships and people come together.

Earlier this year, our Founder, Benn Klewpatinond, had the opportunity to introduce the Thailand Board of Investment (BOI) Paris Office to the Silverstone Technology Cluster (STC). That introduction came full circle at Advanced Engineering UK, where we were proud to welcome the BOI team as the STC's VIP guests for their first in-person engagement with the UK’s advanced engineering ecosystem.

The conversations that followed were exactly what global collaboration should look like: forward-thinking, relationship-driven and focused on long-term opportunity. Across meetings with Benn Klewpatinond (Inond), Khun Nuntanart Krisnachinda (Director, Thailand BOI Paris Office), Pim van Baarsen (CEO, STC), Khun Lalida Sornsong (Deputy Director, Thailand BOI Paris), Khun Pavenuch Kambangpai (UK Representative, BOI Paris), Jeannie Laurie (STC) and Tory Eyre (Inond), discussions centred on how the UK and Thailand can work together to accelerate innovation, manufacturing and product realisation.

While much of Benn’s time was spent in strategic meetings within the VIP Lounge, every

conversation reinforced the same core theme: Collaboration. Partnerships. People.

Originally scheduled as a one-day engagement, the Inond team made the decision to return the following day to further progress these high-value discussions.

Alongside these strategic discussions, it was especially meaningful to see our project with the Para Rowing Foundation showcased on the main screen throughout the exhibition, a powerful reminder that engineering excellence and social impact can, and should, go hand in hand. We are grateful to the incredible community of partners, collaborators and supporters who continue to champion this work.

Advanced Engineering UK 2025 left us not only energised, but deeply optimistic. The relationships strengthened, the new connections formed, and the international conversations opened are all foundations for what comes next.

At Inond, we believe meaningful innovation happens when purpose leads the process and this week was a clear reflection of that belief in action.
