Global Science & Research Infrastructure Exchange (GSRIX) Supply Chain Forum – 1 December 2026
When:
1st December 2026
Location:
Manchester Concorde Conference Centre, Manchester, UK
The Global Science & Research Infrastructure Exchange (GSRIX) brings together major international laboratories, UK national research facilities and innovative suppliers for a unique Meet the Buyer exhibition and networking event.
The Annual Supply Chain Forum for Global Research Infrastructure & Big Science
On Tuesday 1 December 2026 we will be hosting a Meet the Buyer event in collaboration with Nu Tech at the Manchester Concorde Conference Centre.
The facilities represented at GSRIX collectively manage multi‑billion‑pound research infrastructures and procure hundreds of millions of pounds of equipment, engineering services and advanced technologies every year.
By bringing together procurement teams, engineers and scientists from multiple international facilities under one roof, GSRIX provides suppliers with an exceptional opportunity to:
- Showcase your capabilities to world-leading international research organisations actively seeking UK suppliers.
- Understand upcoming procurement needs across large-scale, cutting-edge projects in nuclear, radio astronomy, particle physics, neutron scattering, and more.
- Forge meaningful relationships with influential technical and procurement decision-makers.
- Gain direct insight into how your products and services could support major science infrastructures across Europe and beyond.
This is your gateway to a global science marketplace which has the potential to turn a day of exhibiting into a pipeline of international opportunities.
Supplier Exhibition
The GSRIX supplier exhibition is a central feature of the event, providing companies with a valuable platform to showcase their technologies and services to a highly targeted audience of laboratories, engineers, procurement specialists and industry partners.
Exhibitors benefit from direct engagement with national and international research facilities, opportunities to connect with buyers and technical decision-makers, and extensive networking with fellow suppliers and delegates across the Big Science community.
A range of stand options are available (subject to floorplan availability), allowing you to select a space that maximises visibility and supports meaningful engagement. Each option is designed to help you showcase your capabilities effectively while connecting with an influential international audience.
