Two organisations in north Wales have signed a memorandum of understanding in a bid to boost growth and innovation in the region. M-SParc, Wales’ first Science Park owned by Bangor University, and AMRC Cymru have agreed to partner to give businesses in manufacturing and high-tech engineering greater support.
M-SParc focuses on low carbon, energy and environment, digital, and life science sectors. AMRC Cymru, managed by the University of Sheffield, is a £20m research centre focused on advanced manufacturing sectors including aerospace, automotive, nuclear and food and fully funded by the Welsh Government.
The pair will collaborate to secure joint funding and work on innovation-led projects and grow skills in the sectors. The agreement will allow M-SParc tenants to benefit from access to high-spec manufacturing facilities and knowledge-sharing between the two sites. Firms in north Wales will also receive wider access to support, skills, expertise and facilities.
