BeamGrid™ Technologies to Exhibit at Defence Manufacturing & Materials Expo 2027 in Katowice
We are excited to exhibit at Defence Manufacturing & Materials Expo on 28th & 29th April 2027 at the International Congress Centre (MCK), Katowice, Poland.
Defence Manufacturing & Materials Expo is a leading event dedicated to the defence manufacturing and materials ecosystem, bringing together manufacturers, engineers, technology providers, procurement professionals and key decision-makers from across the defence sector.
BeamGrid™ Technologies will be showcasing its founder-led RF engineering capabilities across structural health monitoring, non-terrestrial direct-to-device connectivity and wireless power systems. The event is an excellent opportunity to connect with organisations shaping the future of defence manufacturing, resilient communications and advanced RF technology.
Please visit us at Stand 656. We look forward to meeting prospective partners, customers, programme leaders and technology collaborators in Katowice.
BeamGrid™ Technologies to Participate in Bengaluru Space Expo 2026 and Build Global Satellite-Industry Partnerships
BeamGrid™ Technologies is pleased to announce its participation in Bengaluru Space Expo 2026 (BSX 2026), taking place from 7–9 September 2026 at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC), Bengaluru, India.
During the ninth edition of BSX, the International Conference on Space will explore the theme “Harnessing Space for Global Progress: Innovation, Policy, and Growth.” The programme brings together government, ISRO, IN-SPACe, NSIL, start-ups, academia and industry to advance India’s space ecosystem, strengthen the space value chain and create opportunities for international cooperation.
For BeamGrid™, BSX is an important opportunity to engage with organisations shaping the future of satellite communications and space systems. Our mission is to apply deep RF and antenna engineering to next-generation satellite connectivity, direct-to-device communications, structural intelligence and space-based power.
BeamGrid™ is looking to build partnerships across the global satellite industry, including satellite operators, constellation and spacecraft developers, payload companies, RF and antenna specialists, defence and secure-communications organisations, research institutions and investors. We are particularly interested in collaborations that can turn advanced RF concepts into practical, scalable and mission-relevant systems.
As India and the wider global space economy enter a period of accelerated commercial growth, BeamGrid™ aims to contribute from the UK as a partner-ready deep-tech company: connecting research, engineering evidence and international collaboration to create real-world value from space.
If you are attending BSX 2026 and exploring partnerships in satellite communications, antennas, RF sensing or space-based power, we would welcome a conversation with BeamGrid™.

BeamGrid™ Technologies Completes Innovate UK-Backed EchoNet Proof of Concept
Reading, United Kingdom, 3 February 2026: BeamGrid™ Technologies announced the successful completion of an Innovate UK-backed proof-of-concept programme for EchoNet™, its RF-enabled structural health monitoring platform.
The programme established controlled proof-of-concept evidence and defined the next validation step: a bounded field pilot with an infrastructure partner.
EchoNet™ is being developed to help asset owners obtain decision-useful evidence from critical locations where access, wiring or repeated manual inspection is difficult.
Detailed design information, test data and performance results are available to qualified partners through a staged diligence process and appropriate confidentiality arrangements.
BeamGrid™ Technologies is now seeking asset owners, civil engineering organisations and infrastructure partners to support independent field validation.
