CW4.0 helps manufacturing SMEs in Cheshire & Warrington accelerate opportunities for growth and investment using digital technology.
CW4.0 is a fully-funded programme of support for manufacturers in Cheshire & Warrington to help SMEs explore and adopt industrial digital technologies.
Part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), CW4.0 brings together the combined expertise and capabilities of the Virtual Engineering Centre (University of Liverpool), Liverpool John Moores University, the Science and Technology Facilities Council and the Northern Automotive Alliance.
With over a decade of experience helping manufacturing businesses to explore, adapt to and adopt new technology, CW4.0 brings together the same partners that delivered the highly successful LCR4.0 project in the Liverpool City Region. This project delivered support to over 300 companies and was widely recognised as a national example of best practice.
CW4.0 helps manufacturing SMEs in Cheshire & Warrington accelerate opportunities for growth and investment using digital technology. Through fully-funded, hands-on support and expertise we enable manufacturers to develop smarter processes and products, solve problems, seize opportunities and stay ahead of the competition by adopting new technologies emerging from the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0).
