strategy, not the one the government has just launched, but the prior initiative that created the Faraday Battery Challenge. We partnered effectively with colleagues like the Warwick Manufacturing Group and discovered complementary capabilities in energy storage materials and the development of battery technology. This collaboration facilitates the transition from prototyping to small-scale manufacturing, which linked nicely with the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre. Through the Faraday Battery Challenge, we have managed to form a kind of supply chain that encompasses everything from fundamental chemistry to the final product.
“ AMBIC is a good example of an intervention, as I mentioned earlier, since it provides a physical capability within the supply chain while recognizing the importance of future chemistries, robotics, and automation. When we make a good case for building specifically targeted and designed infrastructure, we can improve the strength and resilience of that supply chain, thereby increasing the innovation potential it offers to industry. Programs like AMBIC can achieve this by deeply reinforcing the partnerships established among collaborators with existing facilities. These partners have recognized that if we had infrastructure like AMBIC, we could significantly accelerate and deepen our innovation offerings within the supply chain,” Frank elaborates.
In September, CPI announced its intention to form a joint venture with Quotient Sciences( Quotient), a leader in developing and delivering clinical trials.“ Our goal is to join up our RNA manufacturing capability with Quotient’ s design and delivery of clinical trials so that we can bring these therapies to market safely and with agility. For many years, we have focused on engineering biology, one of the five key technology areas that the government wants the UK to lead. We have applied engineering biology in both industrial and health contexts. In Teesside, we have an
