Our Sponsors
We are very grateful to the following organisations who have kindly sponsored ICWES18.
Gold Sponsor - National Grid
Electricity is the life blood of society and the economy. When someone flicks a light switch in their home or office, they know the light will come on. That, in a nutshell, sums up our primary responsibility. We run the high voltage electricity wires that keep the UK's homes and businesses supplied with the electricity they rely on day in, day out. We make sure that Britain has the energy it needs by making sure supply meets demand every second of every day.
Silver Sponsor - Thales
We create the ingenious technological systems and innovations that impact and improve people's lives every day. Even if you haven't heard the name Thales, you've definitely benefited from our inventiveness. Local engineers and technicians make up a significant number of our 25,000-strong team of employees. Together we supply invention, ingenuity and inspiration across five core areas: Aerospace, Space, Transportation, Defence and Security.
Bronze Sponsor - 3M
At 3M, we apply science in collaborative ways to improve lives daily. With $32 billion in sales, our 95,000 employees connect with customers all around the world. The UK is home to one of the largest 3M subsidiaries outside the USA, employing 2,150 people across 16 locations, including six manufacturing sites. 3M's community programme is focused on encouraging more young people, particularly girls, to study STEM subjects and to consider a career in this exciting field. Our dedicated STEM Ambassadors run school activities, host visits at our facilities and create educational resources; and every year hundreds of students enter the 3M Young Innovators Challenge competition.
