Like a 24-hour production line, the manufacturing sector never stands still. It’s constantly evolving, using new knowledge, innovations and technologies to make things better, faster, cheaper and greener.

At the AMRC we’re shaping the future. Our researchers are leading the way on net zero. On data analytics and AI. On sustainable fuels. On digitally connected factories and supply chains. And on much more besides.

We’re also helping to secure UK manufacturing, training hundreds of apprentices and reskilling the current workforce to create the pool of talent the sector needs to thrive and grow.
