UK manufacturing digital transformation initiatives
Overview
The Made Smarter programme is facilitating digital transformation and security enhancements for manufacturing businesses across various regions in the United Kingdom.
In Yorkshire, a £400,000 cyber security initiative was launched in partnership with Sheffield Hallam University. This government-backed pilot aims to protect small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) manufacturers by establishing ‘Cyber Security Champions’ and providing funded support ranging from basic awareness training to ISO 27001 accreditation.
Simultaneously, the programme is driving productivity in the North West and Tees Valley through specialist training and grant funding. In the North West, the Leading Digital Transformation (LDT) programme has assisted numerous manufacturing leaders in refining digital strategies and managing technological transitions. In the Tees Valley, businesses are accessing workshops and capital grants of up to £20,000 to invest in technologies such as AI, automation, and 3D printing to improve workflow efficiency.
