How do you turn good ideas into commercial advantage?

CKMA members are invited to visit the 3M Buckley Innovation Centre (3M BIC) in Huddersfield — a purpose-built innovation hub designed to help engineering and manufacturing businesses develop new products, adopt new technologies and accelerate growth.

In an increasingly competitive manufacturing landscape, access to technical expertise, specialist facilities and innovation support can make the difference between standing still and moving ahead. The 3M Buckley Innovation Centre was created to bridge the gap between industry and academia, giving businesses practical routes to collaborate, test, prototype and innovate.

During this visit, members will:

• Tour the Centre’s innovation and technical facilities
• Learn how manufacturers are working with university expertise to solve real-world challenges
• Understand what funding, R&D and innovation support is available
• Explore how collaboration can reduce risk when developing new products or processes

Whether you are looking to improve productivity, explore automation, refine a product, or understand what support exists to help you scale, this visit will provide insight into resources available on your doorstep.

This is a valuable opportunity to see how innovation partnerships work in practice — and to consider what they could mean for your business.
