From Prototype to Production
Industrialising Innovation in the Liverpool City Region
10 June - MTC, Liverpool
This session will showcase the Liverpool City Region’s innovation, research and industrialisation capabilities, demonstrating how organisations can accelerate the journey from early‑stage R&D to scaled manufacturing and commercial impact. Hosted at MTC Liverpool, the event will highlight the strength of the wider regional ecosystem, including HVMC Catapult assets, university demonstrators and emerging Robotics and Automation Adoption Hubs.
Attendees will gain practical insight into how new technologies can be industrialised, adopted and scaled, with real‑world examples supporting organisations looking to enter new markets or increase manufacturing readiness. The session complements other programme activity focused on building deep‑tech businesses and pitching innovation by clearly outlining the next steps from concept to deployment, helping innovators, manufacturers and technology developers turn ideas into industrial and economic value.
