Made Smarter Adoption Programme Opens for South West Manufacturers

The Made Smarter Adoption programme connects manufacturing businesses to digital tools that can transform the way they work.

As a manufacturer or production business, your daily challenges often revolve around managing frequent machine downtime, meeting customer demand, dealing with delays from manual tasks, and lacking essential data for decision-making – technology might just be the answer. Investing in technology can unlock numerous advantages for your business: streamlining operations, minimising waste, driving sales growth, exploring new markets, addressing resource constraints, enhancing competitiveness, and developing resilience, agility, and innovation.

Made Smarter Adoption provides SMEs with a range of fully-funded support services to help you understand and unleash the benefits associated with adopting new Industry 4.0 digital technologies. From free-to-access impartial expert advice, to digital transformation planning, leadership and skills assessment and up to 50% matched grant funding to adopt hardware and software, Made Smarter is here for you.

The programme offers:-

  • Localised advice and support
  • 1:1 digital acceleration sessions
  • Match funded grants of between £1,000 and £20,000

The programme is delivered from April 2025 and will run until March 2026.
