Few engineering achievements capture the imagination quite like Concorde. Sleek, powerful and decades ahead of its time, the supersonic aircraft remains one of the most iconic examples of engineering innovation ever created. It is therefore a fitting backdrop for MachineBuilding.North 2026, a one-day event dedicated to the technologies and expertise shaping the future of machine building and industrial automation.
