An industry led collaborative network of innovative companies & educational institutes in the Derry & Strabane area.
About us
GEMX aims to bring together key individuals from the Engineering & Manufacturing Sector to work alongside a range of stakeholders from community and education. They will work together to enhance a very exciting career pathway within the NW region whilst showcasing best practice in industry. Our key objectives are: • To develop a pipeline of sustainable skills to meet industry needs. • To enhance the image of engineering and manufacturing within the NW. • To encourage collaboration between industry and education, embracing innovation. This is an extremely interesting and challenging area of employment with a vast range of opportunities. We have employers in our network from areas such as agriculture, chemicals, printing, food, electronics and clothing. Employment entry levels are varied so interested students can progress their education in a flexible way, with vocational routes on the apprenticeship ladder now being available from Level 2 upwards. Education can continue alongside work if that is how a person prefers to progress within their career. Employers in the group will collaborate and share best practice to enhance opportunities for diversity and innovation within the areas of engineering and advanced manufacturing. GEMX is funded by Invest NI as part of the Collaborative Growth Programme.

Great to see such progress - hopefully we can showcase your experiences in our Showcase on March 28th and encourage other companies to embark on similar journeys … #innovation #challenge #industry4.0 #continuousimprovement
We've just returned from a fantastic (frosty) few days on site in Northern Ireland with the team at McColgans. An award winning Food Manufacturer, McColgans have already built a strong team, with a palpable and supportive community spirit. As they work towards a culture of excellence, they are embracing new technologies and practices to get the best out of their team and facilities. Thingtrax are proud to be part of their Industry 4.0 journey. A big thanks to William McColgan, (pictured here with our CEO Paul Reader), Grainne Hampton, Joanna Peplinska and the entire McColgans team for such a warm welcome.

We’re excited to unveil our latest Vertiv™ 360AI reference architecture for the NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 platform, codeveloped with NVIDIA! From grid to chip and from chip to heat reuse, we are helping to remove barriers to deploy the #AI factories of tomorrow with this 7MW design. Preconfigured modular solutions, like Vertiv™ MegaMod™ CoolChip, can reduce deployment time by 50% compared to onsite builds, and the new Vertiv™ Trinergy™ UPS can save space up to 40% vs legacy offerings. For new builds and retrofits, this reference architecture is designed to scale as your business grows. With partners like NVIDIA, we strive to address the demands of #AIworkloads now and into the future. Learn more about our latest reference architecture today at http://ms.spr.ly/6047mAtGN #Vertiv360AI #NVIDIA #ModularSolutions #TrinergyUPS #AIWorkloadReady #FastDeployment

As part of a Year 12 Taster Day at Limavady Grammar School, we facilitated another Meet the GEMs event. This enabled young people, who were interested in finding out more about engineering, to talk to process engineers, mechanical engineers, product designers and chemical engineers in an informal session. Engineering is such a vast subject area that events like this are really enjoyable while also sparking further interest and enabling questions to be asked and answered.
