📢 Launch of the Independent report - Advanced Materials North
Earlier this month we had the pleasure of bringing stakeholders from across the Advanced Materials Ecosystem together to workshop and share their insights on the recommendations from the independent report - Advanced Materials North. Discussion points included potential objectives, priorities and next steps for ecosystem developments, that can support greater connectivity and facilitate research, innovation and commercialisation.
Commissioned to understand opportunity around supporting ecosystem development for Advanced Materials in the North, the report created by Metro Dynamics and shaped through stakeholder workshops and surveys (thank you to everyone who engaged with these), which lays out key recommendations to support ecosystem building in the North of England.
