Katherine Bennett CBE, CEO of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult said: “The publication of the modern industrial strategy is a pivotal step towards transforming the UK into an industrial powerhouse.
"The High Value Manufacturing Catapult has a proven track record of turning policy into progress, investing more than £1 billion in a nationwide network of research and development facilities.
“From the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre’s (AMRC) 20- year collaboration with Boeing that convinced it to build its first European manufacturing facility in Sheffield, driving economic growth and employment in the region to CPI, where the collaboration with pioneering British deep-tech company DEScycle helped unlock private investment for its groundbreaking e-waste recycling technology, we have a proven track record of turning visionary ideas into real-world impact.
“We now have the opportunity to go further and faster, scaling our impact in the regions in which we operate and deepening our commitment to driving national economic growth.
"As partners to government we have helped shape the strategy and the advanced manufacturing sector plan. We now look forward to supporting delivery to ensure the UK has the people, the places and the potential to be a net zero manufacturing superpower.”
