DATE: 17th February 2026

TIME: 9-5pm

VENUE: Business Design Centre, London

With aluminium now recognised as a critical and growth mineral in Government strategy, Aluminium Outlook '26 will bring industry leaders, policymakers, investors and customers under one roof to turn strategic recognition into real-world growth.

Nikolay Biba will deliver a presentation titled “Industry 4.0 in Aluminium Manufacturing: Simulation-Driven Process Design” and will speak about data-exchange concept ExtrusionLink. To enhance productivity through simulation and automated process design, MICAS Simulations developed an intelligent data-exchange concept, ExtrusionLink, which connects die makers, extruders, and profile users into a single digital information chain, fully aligned with the principles of Industry 4.0.

Nikolay Biba presented the ExtrusionLink concept in the article “Smart Data Exchange in Profile Manufacturing,” published in Aluminium International Today magazine.

You will be able to ask Nikolay Biba any questions you are interested in — both about ExtrusionLink and about all QForm products — at Aluminium Outlook ’26, where he will be waiting for you at the booth.
