Machinery matters: Driving growth into machinery development across the UK

Have your say in the future of AMPI

We need to hear from the advanced machinery manufacturing community to help test and refine an emerging proposal to secure sustained investment into machinery development that will support industrial growth across manufacturing.

We’re hosting a workshop, during which we will:

  • hear from industry leaders on why machinery matters to them and their views on the state of the sector within the UK.
  • share the aims, objectives and principles of a national machinery development programme for consideration by UK Government.
  • seek feedback, insight and further anecdotal evidence to support a submission for government investment.
  • discuss, refine and agree a suite of common messages and themes to aid communication and engagement for a national programme.
