This year's Cenex Expo, scheduled to take place on 22-23 September 2026 at ICC Wales in Newport has been postponed "following a strategic review conducted in consultation with industry partners and stakeholders".
Organised by Cenex, the independent not-for-profit Research and Technology Organisation, the Cenex Expo has established itself as a leading forum for networking, dissemination and engagement aimed at supporting UK innovation, collaboration and market development across the automotive, transport and energy sectors.
Robert Evans, CEO of Cenex, said: “This has been a difficult decision, as we know Cenex Expo is highly valued by industry and has become an important showcase for UK capability, innovation and collaboration across transport decarbonisation and connected automated mobility.
“Having listened closely to our customers and the challenges they are currently facing, we believe the responsible decision is to pause the event this year and ensure that the next Cenex Expo takes place at the right time, with the strongest possible industry participation, collaboration and impact.
Cenex says the decision creates an opportunity to evolve support for the transport innovation community, building on the momentum of programmes such as Drive35 and CAM Pathfinder while developing future engagement activities that reflect the changing needs of industry and government.
Cenex says it will continue working closely with industry, government and its supporting partners in the coming months to shape future engagement opportunities and determine the most appropriate timing and format for future Cenex Expo activities.
Cenex adds that it is developing a strategic programme of smaller thematic events, collaborative activities and sector-focused initiatives to support more targeted discussions and year-round engagement across key technology, policy and market areas.
