At Automate BEST, our mission is to nurture the next generation of talent in the manufacturing, robotics, machine vision, and engineering sectors. By supporting us, you are playing a crucial role in shaping the future of these industries, ensuring that innovation continues to thrive and that we remain at the cutting edge of technological advancements.

Why Your Contribution Matters

Individual and corporate funding is the backbone of our efforts to champion the engineering industry. Your donations help us provide resources, training, and opportunities for young engineers who will drive the future of automation. Together, we can empower the engineers of tomorrow and support groundbreaking developments that benefit us all.

Engage and Have Fun with Fundraising Activities

Join us at the Automation UK show in June and the PPMA Show in September for exciting fundraising activities that add a touch of fun to the bustling show days. Visitors can unwind by participating in fun games for small donation to BEST.

We are currently seeking sponsors to provide these engaging activities, such as:

These activities not only offer a fun break but also help us raise essential funds for our initiatives. Get in touch for more information on sponsoring our event activities.

  • Golf days
  • Weekend breaks

By donating prizes and bidding on lots you help us continue our vital work and support the future leaders of automation and engineering. 

Donate Funds or Equipment

We rely on the kindness and generosity of supporters like you. If you’re interested in making a donation, please get in touch. Additionally, if your company has refurbished tech such as laptops or tablets, consider donating them to our apprentices and schools. Past donations have included projectors and laptops, which have made a significant impact on our educational programs.
