Advanced Manufacturing & Future Mobility

Britain still makes things.

Carry Britain's manufacturing base into electrified, digitised and autonomous production

The answer

Carry Britain's manufacturing base into electrified, digitised and autonomous production.

  • Manufacturing productivity is a first-order national economic question.
  • Electrification and automation are re-deciding where production sits for a generation.
  • Supply chain decisions taken now are difficult to reverse.

The digital campus

Advanced Manufacturing & Future Mobility in Britain, as it stands today.

Britain retains a serious manufacturing base with an unusually strong applied research estate around it. The mission is transition: batteries, electrification, digital production and the supply chains beneath them.

Every line below is a record with a date. Where UKIZ holds nothing, it says so rather than filling the space.

Sources and freshness

Every line above carries where it came from.

Records come from published sources: filings, university and Catapult pages, government announcements and organisation-supplied information, each marked as such. Inferred facts are labelled inferred.
