Through our Strength in Places Programmes we aim to provide a variety of funding schemes to support the machinery community and create impact within the sector.
I4M gives businesses in West Yorkshire and Greater Manchester access to the expertise of four universities and the National Physical Laboratory (NPL). I4M provides free support to accelerate the development of the next generation of machinery and create new jobs and growth in this sector.
The programme is administered by NPL with expertise provided by NPL and partners at the University of Manchester, University of Huddersfield, University of Salford, University of Leeds.
I4M is currently closed.
Innovation for machinery and the Innovation Fund are government funding provided through UK Research and Innovation’s flagship Strength in Places Fund.
