Advanced Manufacturing in International Trade in Blackburn, Lancashire

08:00 - 10:30

AMRC North West, Roy Chadwick Way, Samlesbury Aerospace Enterprise Zone, Mellor Brook, BB2 7HP

Advanced manufacturing processes allow innovative companies to differentiate themselves from their competitors. Furthermore, these technologies are contributing to the carving out of new market segments, creating new jobs (based on complementary sets of expertise and competences) and fostering economic growth.

The United Kingdom has a proud history of manufacturing. The government has confirmed 5 investment zones – each with an envelope of £160 million over 10 years – which will focus on Advanced Manufacturing in South Yorkshire, Greater Manchester, East Midlands, West Midlands and the North East, all of which have secured anchor investment from businesses in advanced manufacturing. And here in Lancashire we have the AMRC North West whose goal is to help the North West region’s manufacturing community access advanced technologies that will drive improvements in productivity, performance and quality.

This event will discuss how we can promote our Advanced Manufacturing capabilities Internationally and collaborate with partners in Europe to drive economic growth. We also look at the issues of Export Control and Sanctions Compliance and how they affect manufacturers in this field.

The event is Free of Charge.
