UK technology innovation organisation CPI has today opened its Medicines Manufacturing Innovation Centre (MMIC) at the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District Scotland (AMIDS) in Renfrewshire, bringing 100 new jobs and an initial estimated £200m of investment to the region.
The centre - which aims to accelerate solutions in medicine development and manufacturing - has been supported by £88m from public and private partners.
Its ‘grand challenge’ business model follows the UK life sciences strategy roadmap, combining ideas from the pharmaceutical and technology sectors to help tackle issues such as increasing the pace and personalisation of medicine production and enhancing sustainability across manufacturing processes.
