Pilots for the Centre of Expertise in Advanced Materials and Sustainability (p-CEAMS).

大曼彻斯特(GM)在开发先进材料方面拥有世界级的研究能力，并在城市区域内拥有日益增长的材料创新集群。在全球范围内，能够为制造业供应链提供可持续材料的公司存在缺口，在有能力扩大规模并在制造业应用中采用可持续材料的行业也存在市场失灵。这对通用汽车来说是一个重大的经济机遇--而且有计划通过通用汽车联合管理局(GMCA)和罗奇代尔发展局(RDA)发展先进材料和可持续发展专业知识中心(CEAMS)来实现这一目标，该中心将建在Atom Valley/Rochdal。我们的计划，“先进材料和可持续发展专业知识中心供应链试点(p-CEAMS)”，支持GMCAs发展CEAMS的雄心，利用通用汽车在材料研究方面的现有优势。我们的计划：1)通过以下方式解决目前在提供可持续先进材料方面的供应链缺口：\*将地区企业与国家先进材料供应链需求连接起来，包括聚合物、复合材料、生物材料、技术纺织品、涂层和材料的数字制造(材料4.0)\*支持地区企业为这些需求开发解决方案\*展示新的先进材料和数字技术在工业过程中的放大和应用，通过协作试点项目支持CEAMS的发展，并确保这成为通用汽车的长期能力，方法是将活动和后续工作转移到CEAMS中--为这项投资创建启动管道。3)通过合作创建新的材料供应链企业，并通过吸引现有的先进材料供应链公司，加速通用汽车的先进材料业务集聚，通过合作创建新的材料供应链企业，加快通用汽车的先进材料业务集聚。我们的财团由Rochdale Development Agency(RDA)、曼彻斯特大学(UOM)研究所(Royce、GEIC、SMI Hub)、国家物理实验室(NPL)、科学和技术设施委员会(UKRI-STFC)、和英国的高价值制造Catapult，将利用通用汽车和全国现有的基础设施来促进跨部门和跨供应链的合作，开发可行的商业模式，以确保ADM系统的质量和可持续性，为通用汽车企业和该地区提供创新、收入和生产力/GVA效益。

Greater Manchester (GM) has world class research capability in developing advanced materials and has a growing materials innovation cluster within the city region. Globally there is a gap in companies able to provide sustainable materials for manufacturing supply chains, and also a market failure in industries ability to scale up and adopt sustainable materials in manufacturing applications. This presents a major economic opportunity for GM -- and there are plans to realise this through GM Combined Authority's (GMCA's) and Rochdale Development Agency's (RDA's) development of a Centre of Expertise in Advanced Materials & Sustainability (CEAMS), which will be built in Atom Valley/Rochdale.Our programme, "Supply Chain Pilots for the Centre of Expertise in Advanced Materials & Sustainability (p-CEAMS)", supports GMCAs ambitions in the development of CEAMS, leveraging GM's existing strength in materials research, alongside the UK's High Value Manufacturing Catapult's (HVMC's) competency in building supply chain capability.Our programme:1) Addresses current supply chain gaps in provision of sustainable advanced materials by:\*Connecting regional businesses to National supply chain needs in advanced materials including polymers, composites, biomaterials, technical textiles, coatings, and digital manufacturing of materials (Materials 4.0)\*Supporting regional businesses to develop solutions to these needs\*Demonstrating scale up AND application of new advanced materials and digital technologies in industrial processes, through collaborative pilot projects2) Supports the development of CEAMS and ensures this becomes a long-term capability for GM by transferring activity and follow-on work into the CEAMS -- creating starter pipelines for this investment3) Uses the activity to catalyse strategic links to inward investment, accelerating advanced materials business clustering in GM through collaborative creation of new material supply chain enterprises, and through the attraction of existing advanced material supply chain companies to GM.Our consortium, comprised of Rochdale Development Agency (RDA), University of Manchester (UoM) Institutes (Royce, GEIC, SMI Hub), National Physical Laboratory (NPL), Science and Technologies Facilities Council (UKRI-STFC), and the UK's High Value Manufacturing Catapult, will exploit existing infrastructure within GM and nationally to catalyse cross-sector and cross-supply chain collaborations, developing viable business models to ensure quality and sustainability of AdM systems that deliver innovations, revenue and productivity/GVA benefits for GM businesses and the region .
