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一流的研究能力，并在城市地区拥有不断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差距，在制造业应用中扩大和采用可持续材料的行业能力方面也存在市场失灵。这为通用汽车公司提供了一个重大的经济机会--有计划通过通用汽车联合管理局（GMCA）和罗奇代尔开发署（RDA）在原子谷/罗奇代尔建立一个先进材料与可持续发展专业知识中心（CEAMS）来实现这一目标。我们的计划，“先进材料与可持续发展专业知识中心供应链试点（p-CEAMS）"，利用通用汽车在材料研究方面的现有优势，以及英国高价值制造弹射器（HVMC）在建立供应链能力方面的能力，支持GMCAs在CEAMS开发方面的雄心。我们的计划：1）通过以下方式弥补当前供应链在提供可持续先进材料方面的差距：\* 将区域企业与国家供应链的先进材料需求联系起来，包括聚合物、复合材料、生物材料、技术纺织品、涂料，和材料的数字化制造（材料4.0）\* 支持区域企业开发满足这些需求的解决方案\* 展示新的先进材料和数字技术在工业流程中的规模扩大和应用，通过合作试点项目2）支持CEAMS的发展，并通过将活动和后续工作转移到CEAMS中来确保这成为通用汽车的长期能力-为这项投资创建启动管道3）使用该活动来催化与内向投资的战略联系，通过合作创建新材料供应链企业来加速通用汽车的先进材料业务集群，通过吸引现有的先进材料供应链公司到通用汽车。我们的财团，包括罗奇代尔发展署（RDA），曼彻斯特大学（UoM）研究所（Royce、GEIC、SMI Hub）、国家物理实验室（NPL）、科学和技术设施理事会（UKRI-STFC）和英国的高价值制造弹射器，将利用全球机制内部和国家现有的基础设施，促进跨部门和跨供应链的合作，开发可行的商业模式，以确保提供创新的行政管理系统的质量和可持续性，通用汽车公司业务和该地区的收入和生产力/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 .
