The strategic delivery plan details how engineering and physical sciences deliver ideas, innovations and technologies that are needed for a sustainable, resilient and prosperous UK.

The Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Centre at Queen's University Belfast has launched its Strategic Technology Plan.

The Vision is for a built environment whose explicit purpose is to enable people and nature to flourish together for generations.

This report by The Productivity Institute looks at the decisions of successive UK Government's over the last 50 years to attempt to glean learnings from what has worked well and what has worked not so well in improving the rate of productivity in the UK economy.

The Royal Academy of Engineering has produced a report on Spinouts

Airspace 2050: Three Futures contains three alternative scenarios which might play out around the year 2050. These are challenging but plausible futures. They are not predictions, but envision potential outcomes arising from the call to action on climate change, from technological disruption and geopolitical change, from burdens put upon the regulatory system, and from changing demographics and attitudes.

The Industrial Strategy Council is an independent non-statutory advisory group comprised of leading men and women from business, academia and civil society. This first Annual Report provides the Council’s independent assessment on the progress of the Industrial Strategy.

The workforce crisis in UK manufacturing is well known. There is an acute skills gap that prevents manufacturers from successfully exploiting new technologies. This report provides a blueprint for the way forward.

The aim of the project was to move the productivity conversation forward, away from the economists, politicians and statisticians, and into the workplace by engaging with employees in manufacturing companies

Agricultural Robotics: The Future of Robotic Agriculture The recent commitment of a £90million investment by the government (Transforming Food Production [...]

This document builds on POST’s previous publication, Topics of Interest 2018 and represents evidence gathered between May 2018 and April 2019. Topics included consist of areas of change with a larger volume of evidence attached that are likely to have significant impact, as these are most likely to be of most interest to Parliament.

This white paper sets out plans to transform the UK’s regulatory system to support innovation while protecting citizens and the environment.

This report looks out to 2040. It looks at the whole transport system – considering the users and goods. It considers new opportunities and the implications of current trends. It builds four plausible future worlds to help decision makers think about the future.

This report explores what Innovation Superclusters are, how they are formed, and how countries can get started building one.

This report details the scale, geographical distribution and competitiveness of the UK materials sector. It is based on a database of the UK materials companies that was extracted in a bottom-up approach from a wide range of company datasets and sources of information.

As part of PwC’s overarching narrative for the T20, this report discusses how three drivers of change – globalisation, technological advances and “financialisation” – have historically served humanity well by typically delivering both economic growth and social progress.

Learning to be an Engineer presents a different way of framing the challenge of persuading more young people to continue studying STEM subjects and to consider engineering as a suitable career for them.

The AMME sector is export and R&D intensive and includes sectors such as aerospace, polymers and materials handling as well as some highly specialist companies – all with a focus on advanced manufacturing, materials and engineering. There are over 2,000 such businesses in Northern Ireland, employing over 40,000 people, paying salaries 26% above the NI average and generating sales worth £7.2bn in 2014.

A report on the contribution which manufacturing makes to the Northern Ireland economy. This report from Oxford Economics uncovers the full impact on jobs, wages, GVA, exports and other areas on both a macro NI level and in each of the 11 new Councils.

The Advanced Engineering (Transport) Horizon Panel brought together a number of experts from business and academia – many of whom are already involved in the exciting transformation that is already taking place in engineering and manufacturing – with the objective of identifying the means by which Northern Ireland can reclaim its position as a global leader in engineering.

This analysis of the industrial and academic strengths shows that a rich focus area for NI is the convergence area between traditional material sectors and a focus on the interdisciplinary and multidiscipline areas of advanced materials.
