The Sheffield City Region (SCR) has won the FDI Strategy Award in the Advanced Manufacturing category run by industry magazine fDi Intelligence.
The FDi Strategy Awards recognise Strategic Excellence in cities and regions across the globe.
The judges applauded the Sheffield City Region as a leader in advanced manufacturing and materials, benefiting from world-renowned research with the University of Sheffield, the Royce Institute for Research and Innovation of Advanced Materials and the McLaren Composites Technology Centre.
Judges were impressed with the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District (AMID), which is the UK’s largest research-led advanced manufacturing cluster and includes the key asset of the Advanced Manufacturing Park (AMP) which is in Rotherham. AMID is home to the University of Sheffield’s world-leading Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC), its sister centre, the Nuclear AMRC and its award-winning Apprentice Training Centre.
