Engineering a better future
Advanced Engineering & Manufacturing
Liverpool is part of Europe’s biggest bio-manufacturing cluster. We’re known for the hundreds of global brands that are made here.
But we’re not only making things here; we’re making them better, greener, safer and more efficient. And we’ve got some new tools in our workshop: Supercomputing; Robotics; Virtual Reality; Internet of Things; Sensors; Big Data and Big Science.

Major European Biomanufacturing cluster -
Leading Industry 4.0 initiatives -
£1 billion logistics investment
From the creative sparks imagining new materials and processes; to the chemists discovering new drugs and the scientists rolling back frontiers. In factories, science parks and university laboratories; in every corner of this great manufacturing city; we are creating something special.
One of the biggest opportunities for manufacturing firms in Liverpool is the access to a new ports and logistics infrastructure. More than £1 billion of intermodal infrastructure investment and a new deep-water container terminal, means faster global supply chain transit for products made here.
