Engineering a better future
Advanced Engineering & Manufacturing
We’re famous for being the home of Jaguar Land Rover; and we’re also 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.

£1 billion logistics investment
From the creative sparks imagining new materials and processes; to the geniuses designing futuristic cars and ships. From the innovators making solar panels and wind turbines; 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 region; we are creating something special.
One of the biggest opportunities for manufacturing firms in Liverpool City Region is the access to a new ports and logistics infrastructure. More than £1 billion of intermodal infrastructure investment, two international airports in the region and a new deep-water container terminal, means faster global supply chain transit for products made here.
