Supporting, informing and representing UK manufacturing through the transition to Net-Zero.
The Centre for Manufacturing Transition is an initiative built on the outcome of the ‘Repowering the Black Country Project’, which recognised there are further similar mini-clusters of manufacturing activity across the West Midlands, South Wales, South Yorkshire, the South East, the South West, and many other parts of the UK.
All of these areas lie outside the main focus of national industrial decarbonisation energy infrastructure investment.
Working with other industrial clusters and dispersed sites across the UK, and with the UK and regional governments, this new initiative aims to to develop and implement practical and policy solutions which support UK manufacturing supply chains through the transition to Net-Zero and the energy cost crisis.
Practical and policy solutions developed by both the Black Country and South Wales Clusters as part of the UKRI IDC Programme will be made available to the whole country by supporting and facilitating partnership projects, led by local partners and anchor businesses wherever possible.
