Our history: Accelerating manufacturing innovation
Our seven centres of industrial innovation were brought together in 2011 by Innovate UK, the UK’s innovation agency, to accelerate the commercialisation of innovative new products and processes.
Industrial partners since 2011
SME partners since 2011
Commercial and collaborative R&D projects since 2011
In over a decade of work, we have helped more and more businesses each year grasp the opportunity of innovation and grow.
We’re helping to move cutting-edge manufacturing research from the UK’s world-leading universities into the commercial market, supporting companies to transform the products they sell, the way they make them and the skills of their workforce.
