CBI comments on Advanced Manufacturing funding
The CBI commented on the latest round of funding from the Government's Advanced Manufacturing Supply Chain Initiative (AMSCI). Yesterday the CBI launched a new report on the UK’s progress on industrial strategy.
John Cridland, CBI Director-General, said:
"We are calling for industrial strategy to focus on strengthening UK supply chains and this initiative is one of the best ways to deliver this.
"The winning bids will support new technologies and jobs in supply chains for key sectors including aerospace, chemicals, electronics and life sciences.
"To build on the scheme’s success, the Government should commit to funding AMSCI for the long-term and encourage greater participation from a wider array of industries, so that more businesses are able to benefit."
