MTC announces new AURA programme

AIRTO member MTC has announced the inaugural cohort of its Automation and Robotics Technology Accelerator (AURA) Programme – a new initiative designed to help companies commercialise their robotic solutions more quickly, strengthening the UK’s advanced manufacturing sector.

The pilot scheme provides up to £200,000 of world-class technical support, enabling automation and robotics companies to scale-up production of their solutions and overcome the final barriers to commercialisation. The first cohort brings together three pioneering businesses which will work closely with MTC experts to mature their products, optimise manufacturing processes and prepare for commercial success.

The AURA programme draws directly on MTC’s proven capability in de-risking advanced automation, supporting SMEs, and nurturing early stage technology development.
