Ambitious manufacturing businesses across Glasgow City Region are set to benefit from £14 million ‘levelling up’ funding for three research and development (R&D) projects aiming to upskill the workforce, boost sustainability and productivity and accelerate local economic growth.

The projects are led by the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS), which is operated by the University of Strathclyde and part of the High Value Manufacturing (HVM) Catapult, and will see smaller manufacturing firms throughout the region receive innovation support from projects involving some of the biggest names in industry, including Boeing, Howden, British Airways maintenance, SSE Renewables and Babcock.

With £5.4 million in funding from the Glasgow City Region Innovation Accelerator programme and up to an additional £8.6 million contributed by partners, the projects aim to develop the skills and technologies required for local manufacturers and their employees to futureproof their business and make the next generation of products.
