A stakeholder event will be held on 19 March in Coventry, UK, which aims to assist in developing programmes to support the government’s Industrial Strategy and Advanced Manufacturing Sector Plan,  with a focus on the six frontier industries.

Innovate UK is developing funding calls and exploring how to narrow the scope to target areas with the greatest growth potential, aligned with the UK’s existing capabilities.

Innovate UK is keen to hear from manufacturers of all sizes, including OEMs and the wider supply chain. They want to understand:

  • Key innovation opportunities across the six frontier industries
  • The potential size of future markets, and the evidence or trends that support this
  • How well UK companies are positioned to capitalise on these opportunities
  • What catalysts are needed to unlock growth and strengthen resilience in UK manufacturing
