UWTSD has been successful in accessing European funding for a suite of projects which focus on skills development and the application of the industrial digital technologies and advanced manufacturing technologies that are at the heart of the ‘fourth industrial revolution’, the so-called Industry 4.0 (I4.0) revolution. I4.0 technologies include, virtual reality modelling and data capture, 3-D scanning, computer aided design, simulation and analysis, reverse engineering, rapid prototyping and tooling, and additive manufacturing. Aimed predominately, but not exclusively, at the manufacturing sector, the projects will identify and address skills gaps, and encourage knowledge transfer, research and development and commercialisation. Through such activity, the projects are designed to create a positive impact on the economic performance of individual companies as well as on the Welsh manufacturing sector as a whole. The projects are based in UWTSD’s Innovation Quarter at SA1 in Swansea and delivered pan-Wales.

The Industry Relationship Officer will work with the Industry Relationship Manager and the MADE Cymru team with particular focus on engagement with appropriate businesses in North Wales, maximising the engagements for all elements of the MADE Cymru programme.
