The manufacturing industry is entering an important decade. Almost a year on from the launch of the government’s Industrial Strategy, there has been a clear need from the wider manufacturing community for clearer pathways into the demands, deadlines and opportunities that have been set out.
Within the High Value Manufacturing (HVM) Catapult, of which the AMRC is a member, there is also demand for a network-wide framework; a sector-agnostic, clear-set direction to align centres and the wider innovation ecosystem around shared technology innovation priorities.
To answer this need, the HVM Catapult and its centres have all worked together to create the HVM Catapult Technology Strategy. This is a set of roadmaps, shaped with industry, that align national priorities with industrial needs and identify the key technology capability development requirements for the next 15 years. It is a direct response to the challenges presented.
The strategy, which provides a structured view of how industry can evolve to meet demand, sets out both the needs and the opportunities available.
