Areas of focus
BCIMO’s role is to work with organisations large and small – innovators, academia, policy makers and government departments – to deliver projects that will help shape and accelerate future industries, with four interdependent areas of activity focused on the development of:
- Innovative / low-cost technologies for the whole of the rail sector as well as other new and emerging markets.
- Manufacturing supply chains, here in the UK, and specifically in the Black Country / wider West Midlands.
- Skilled workforces to manufacture, implement and operate these technologies, again in the Black Country / wider West Midlands.
- New and emerging markets, both in the UK and overseas.
