  • Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering

We collaborate across public and private sectors to provide businesses with opportunities to start and scale – whether it’s support to access innovation funding; accelerator programmes; or industry networks to connect with new customers and suppliers.

Working closely with partners on skills, planning, and procurement, we help businesses overcome any barriers to growth and unlock their potential.
