🎧 We’re ending this series with a special episode celebrating the nationwide impact of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult 🎧 Since 2011, CPI and the High Value Manufacturing Catapult have been at the heart of the UK’s industrial strategy—driving innovation, accelerating high-value manufacturing, and transforming regions into thriving technology hubs. But how did we get here, and what’s next for UK manufacturing? In our final episode of People in Innovation: A CPI podcast, ‘In Conversation With’ series, our CEO, Frank Millar, sits down with Katherine Bennett CBE, CEO of HVM Catapult, and Steve Bagshaw, Chair of HVM Catapult, to reflect on CPI’s journey as part of this powerful network. They explore how Catapults de-risk innovation, support businesses, and help turn pioneering ideas into real-world solutions. With many centres across multiple regions, HVM Catapult plays a crucial role in strengthening supply chains, creating high-value jobs, and ensuring the UK remains a leader in innovation-led manufacturing. 🔊 Listen here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ecuN3tRG   📺 Watch here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e6mfYfx8  AMRC MTC - Manufacturing Technology Centre National Composites Centre National Manufacturing Institute Scotland Nuclear AMRC WMG, University of Warwick Innovate UK UK Research and Innovation #CPI20 | #Innovation | #Podcast  #LetsInnovateTogether | #Manufacturing | #OneHVMC

I'm thrilled to share that CPI and EnsiliTech have been awarded £1.4M from Innovate UK to revolutionise antibody-based medicines! This project will explore how Ensilication technology can remove the need for ultra-cold storage in antibody treatments by preventing molecular aggregation and stabilising antibodies at room temperature, allowing for higher concentration formulations and subcutaneous rather than intravenous administration – making life-saving therapies more accessible, affordable, and sustainable. 🌍 At CPI, we're bringing together our formulation, biologics, and scale-up expertise to help integrate this technology into monoclonal antibody manufacturing – paving the way for more sustainable and accessible healthcare solutions.

For this year's International Women's Day, we're addressing the gender health gap: How can we ensure medical research works for everyone? 💉👩⚕️   Women make up 51% of the global population, yet only 5% of global R&D funding is allocated to women’s health research. The consequences? Misdiagnoses, ineffective treatments, and a significant loss of life.   At CPI, we’re working to change this narrative by supporting innovative projects like BoobyBiome and LBN Innovations, which are paving the way for better healthcare solutions for women.   These pioneering initiatives are reshaping the future of women’s health—one breakthrough at a time.   Learn more ⬇️   Abi Sawyer Hannah Wade Ellie Moir Dr Fozia Saleem Zoe Woods Yvonne Armitage Helen Anderson Louise Ben-Nathan Amy Smith Abby Burr, Assoc CIPD Helen Hinton-Lee, Chartered FCIPD #InternationalWomensDay | #WomensHealth | #GenderGap  #LetsInnovateTogether | #HealthInnovation | #MedTech
