Future Lab is FOS Tech’s uniquely immersive exhibition at the heart of Festival of Speed. Curated to fascinate, and supported by Ambassador Tim Peake, the exhibition showcases cutting-edge technology in robotics, mobility, space and what is shaping both our near and distant future. This is a particular favourite of our younger visitors with many of the exhibitions having a hands-on STEM learning approach that allows people of all ages to get involved.


Future Lab is an immersive exhibition unlike any other, reimagining our near and distant future by bringing together cutting-edge technology, inspiring innovations and pioneering personalities. Exploring Technology for a Better World, the exhibition highlights ground-breaking innovations and advances in technology, but the reach of Future Lab extends beyond the track into the sea, the air, and even into space to explore what is shaping our world and our future. Curated by Lucy Johnston.

The exhibition puts world-changing technological developments into the hands of festival guests, inviting them to interact with the latest robotics, virtual experiences and more for an experience that inspires and delights, and one you truly can’t get anywhere else. Discover alternative mobility like autonomous or space-based vehicles; sustainability like cleaning up space junk; robotics like humanoid robots and teleoperated hands; and the virtual world like augmented reality, AI, holograms and even motion capture.

Every Future Lab exhibit includes a STEM angle so young people of all ages can get involved. From interactive robotics to drone flying and space sustainability, there’s something for all ages.


Future Lab was outstanding - a highlight of the latest cutting edge technologies presented in a fun, interactive and informative way.
