About the session
The speaker launches the Technology Strategy Board's (TSB's) High Value Manufacturing (HVM) Strategy at the debate. This was formed from a research project by the Institute for Manufacturing at the University of Cambridge, which revealed strategic themes and several core 'national competencies' in manufacturing. Themes included increasing and protecting the global competitiveness of UK manufacturing technologies by creating more efficient and effective manufacturing systems. The HVM strategy is committed to doubling the TSB’s funding of HVM projects to £50m. Projects are supported on tight, business-case criteria such as the market need and proof of concept in regards to new innovations.
