Promote your business on Industrial Connected
Choose how you want to stand out in front of engaged UK engineering and manufacturing buyers - sponsor a category, take exclusive ownership, become a Featured Partner, or appear across multiple categories. Clearly-labelled, trust-first placements that never influence project matching, Match Scores, Trust Scores or recommendations.
How to choose: The first four tiers (Founding, Category, Multi-Category, Exclusive) put you on one or more category pages. Featured Partner is different - it's site-wide brand presence on the homepage and footer, plus Featured Partner pins in 2 chosen categories.
Founding Sponsor - £99/month
The first 10 sponsors lock in our launch rate for 12 months and receive a permanent Founding Sponsor badge across Industrial Connected. After your initial term you can renew at the standard tier or step up to an exclusive placement.
- Locked-in £99/month for 12 months
- Founding Sponsor badge on your category card
- Choose any available category
- Featured in our launch communications
Pick a tier to see what's included
Every placement is clearly labelled "Sponsored" and shown in a dedicated section - never mixed into supplier rankings or recommendations.

Zero matching influence
Sponsorship has no impact on project matching, Match Scores, Trust Scores, recommendations or shortlists. Buyer projects are matched on capability alone.
Featured in the directory
Category sponsors are pinned as a Featured Partner at the top of their category in the supplier directory when buyers browse manually - clearly labelled, separate from organic results.
Clearly labelled
Every sponsor placement carries a prominent 'Sponsored' or 'Featured Partner' label and is shown in a dedicated section.
Built for industry
Reach UK engineering and manufacturing buyers actively sourcing suppliers - not consumer eyeballs.
