We are proud to announce that MAV has been selected to feature in Monarchy and Democracy – A History of Leadership, a prestigious new publication launched this week at Westminster Abbey.

This fully illustrated, two-volume work, authored by a team of leading academics and award-winning writers, explores the past century and examines the evolving role of the Crown in shaping democracy across the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth. As part of this historic project, a select group of organisations has been recognised for excellence in leadership, innovation, sustainability, and governance.

MAV has been chosen as a British leader in innovation and technological engineering, recognised for delivering the highest standards of quality, design, and service through the development of pioneering global ANPR technology.

Representing MAV at the launch event were Tracey Silk and Andy Humphries, who joined a distinguished audience of industry leaders and “best in class” organisations. The event also welcomed a number of Royal correspondents, who shared insightful and moving reflections on the legacies of Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III.

Being included in this significant publication is a great honour and a testament to the dedication and innovation that define MAV. As representatives of the “Best of Britain,” we remain committed to driving forward standards of excellence and continuing to develop world-leading ANPR technology.

MAV is proud to announce the continuation of its Gold Sponsorship of the Big STEM Challenge, reinforcing its commitment to supporting the next generation of innovators, engineers, and problem-solvers.

Delivered by Social Enterprise Kent, the Big STEM Challenge brings together talented young individuals from across the region, providing them with a platform to showcase their creativity, technical skills, and forward-thinking ideas. Through hands-on challenges and collaborative learning, students gain invaluable experience that helps shape future careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

At MAV, we recognise the critical importance of investing in young people and nurturing their potential and are proud to continue our Gold Sponsorship of the Big STEM Challenge again this year. Working alongside Social Enterprise Kent, and a wonderful group of young individuals, offers insight into how much talent the next generation has to offer. We cannot wait to witness more innovation, imagination and invention and support the future superstars of STEM.

Initiatives like the Big STEM Challenge play a vital role in bridging the gap between education and industry, inspiring students to pursue careers in STEM fields that are essential to the UK’s future growth and technological advancement. By supporting these programmes, MAV is helping to empower young minds and foster the skills needed to drive innovation for years to come.

Security and Policing 2026

The recent Security & Policing 2026 proved to be an incredibly valuable and rewarding event for us at MAV Systems, bringing together law enforcement and security professionals from across the globe for several days of meaningful discussion, innovation, and collaboration.

From start to finish, we were proud to showcase the strength and depth of our ANPR portfolio, demonstrating how our technology supports the optimisation of modern police and security systems. Our stand remained one of the busiest throughout the event, reflecting the growing demand for intelligent, accurate, and adaptable enforcement solutions.

ANPR innovations

A key focus for us was highlighting our latest innovations, including MAVAiQ and MAVMobile, both of which generated significant interest from international delegates. These solutions, alongside our pioneering GhostPlate™, AiAccurate™, and PlatePath™ technologies, demonstrated how ANPR performance continues to evolve, delivering greater accuracy, improved operational efficiency, and enhanced capabilities to tackle increasingly complex challenges.

The global nature of the event was clear in every conversation. We engaged with representatives from across Europe and beyond, while also strengthening relationships with UK police forces and security specialists. These discussions not only reinforced the universal need for reliable and high-performing ANPR systems but also opened the door to new partnerships and future collaborations.

Finalists due to the importance of GhostPlate™ technology

A particular highlight for us was being named a finalist in the innovation awards hosted by ADS Group Ltd. This recognition, driven by our GhostPlate™ technology, underlined the importance of addressing the growing issue of manipulated or cloaked licence plates, something that continues to present real-world risks to enforcement and public safety.

Above all, the event reinforced why we do what we do. The conversations we had and the insights we gained made it clear that expectations for ANPR technology are rising, and rightly so. We are proud to be at the forefront of that evolution, supporting agencies around the world in improving safety, strengthening security, and delivering more effective enforcement outcomes.

To everyone who visited us, shared their challenges, and explored our solutions; thank you. We look forward to continuing those conversations and building on the momentum generated at Security & Policing 2026.

The four-day Intertraffic Amsterdam 2026 has officially concluded in Amsterdam, delivering a high-energy gathering of global traffic, parking, and mobility professional; and marking a standout showing for MAV Systems.

MAV takes centre stage

We emerged from this year’s event with significant momentum, having been named a finalist in the prestigious Inspiration Awards while also hosting multiple presentations across both the Infra Stage and the Parking Network B.V. Stage. Across the four days, we maintained one of the busiest stands at the exhibition, attracting a steady flow of international delegates.

Our team delivered a series of well-attended sessions focused on real-world ANPR applications, demonstrating how our camera solutions are being deployed across sectors and regions. These presentations, led by our senior leadership team, sparked in-depth discussions with traffic and parking specialists and opened the door to new partnership opportunities worldwide.

Innovation driving global interest

At the heart of MAV’s presence was our pioneering GhostPlate™ technology, designed to detect manipulated or evasive licence plates, captured strong attention from enforcement authorities and parking operators facing increasingly sophisticated challenges.

Our technology became a focal point for hundreds of conversations throughout the event, reinforcing MAV’s position at the forefront of innovation in the sector. Delegates highlighted the growing need for enhanced accuracy, performance, and fraud detection, areas where our solutions are helping to set new benchmarks.

Collaboration across the industry

MAV’s success at Intertraffic was further strengthened through collaboration with its sister company, AGD Systems Limited, and parent organisation The Traffic Group. Together, we demonstrated a comprehensive, multi-sector offering spanning traffic detection, enforcement, and parking management.

Our combined presence showcased how integrated technologies can deliver scalable solutions across international markets, resonating strongly with attendees seeking end-to-end systems.

A platform for growth

From a busy opening day through to a packed second day of presentations and sustained engagement until close, Intertraffic Amsterdam 2026 proved to be a valuable platform for strengthening existing relationships and building new ones. We were able to boast strong interest in our ANPR portfolio right up to the final hours of the exhibition.

Feedback from global partners suggests that expectations around ANPR technology are rising rapidly, with increasing demand for systems capable of addressing complex, real-world challenges such as plate manipulation and enforcement accuracy; and this is why we are able to meet all changing needs within the market.

Looking ahead

As the industry reflects on another successful edition of Intertraffic, MAV Systems leaves Amsterdam with enhanced visibility, strengthened partnerships, and a clear signal that our technologies are helping to shape the future of traffic and parking management.

With innovation accelerating and global demand increasing, MAV’s performance at Intertraffic Amsterdam 2026 confirms our role in raising standards and expectations across the industry.
