The government has announced that it is investing £147 million, backed by further funding from industry, to support businesses to implement new tech to boost their manufacturing productivity, helping them reach new customers, create thousands of new highly skilled jobs, slash carbon emissions and reduce prices for consumers. This Manufacturing Made Smarter programme will also support technology SMEs through growth accelerators and create a national network of innovation ‘hubs’ where businesses can partner or share advice, to help spur growth and creative ideas.
