Supporting Staffordshire manufacturers through innovation
It’s the final call for Staffordshire businesses to apply for a unique opportunity to collaborate with Staffordshire University
The Staffordshire Advanced Manufacturing, Prototyping and Innovation Demonstrator (SAMPID) project supports local manufacturers to develop products, prototypes and improve processes using cutting edge equipment. Each bespoke partnership is fully funded and supported by a student or graduate alongside a dedicated academic expert.
Interested businesses can learn more about getting involved at a free webinar on Thursday 16 February and hear from local employers who have benefitted from the scheme.
SAMPID Programme Manager, Rachel Wood, said: “This is an exciting opportunity to gain the latest expertise and free business support to help your company succeed in the ever-changing world of manufacturing.
“Businesses who sign up will have access to state-of-the-art facilities through our Innovation Enterprise Zone including collaborative robots, metal 3D printers and a brand-new micro gas turbine.
“Innovative products and prototypes that have been produced through the SAMPID programme range from a life-saving medical device to a ballistic vest, and I look forward to seeing what other businesses can achieve!”
