Adva nc e d Ma nufa c turing , Ma te ria ls & E ng ine e ring WORK SHOP - Ma rc h 2016
On 21 st March we held a workshop at the Northern Ireland Science Park as part of our Advanced Manufacturing, Materials & Engineering (AMME) Study. Around 50 leaders from business, academia & government attended to discuss the themes emerging from our research and to try to get consensus on how best to grow the sector in the coming years. The workshop was chaired by Dr. Rob Hardeman, CTO of Seagate and Deputy Chair of the Matrix Panel.
The following slides give an overview of the work of the Matrix panel, the research carried out to date on the AMME study & the proposed next steps. The final report is due to be published in May 2016. If you need any further information about the study or our other work, please visit our website at www.matrixni.org
Ab o ut Ma trix MATRIX advises government, industry and academia on the commercial exploitation of R&D and science and technology in Northern Ireland. We work with industry and academia to identify new high technology market opportunities, IP and technologies for Northern Ireland companies to exploit and academia to benefit from. And we represent the voice of high tech industry and champion the role of science and technology as one the key drivers of economic growth in Northern Ireland.

T he a im o f this wo rksho p For longer term planning on business infrastructure development, government needs informed, independent advice on future directions in advanced manufacturing. We now have the opportunity not only to present a picture of advanced manufacturing in Northern Ireland today, but also to create a vision of how the sector might grow in the next 5-10 years.

AMME – b y de finitio n: Materials types are labelled in variety of ways, often overlapping. Different types of materials can be defined or qualified in terms of: traditional categories (e.g. ceramics, polymers, alloys) material properties (e.g. optical, electronic, magnetic) application (e.g. materials for low energy technologies) the nature or scale of engineering (e.g. nano-materials, micro-materials) and sector (e.g. aerospace materials) These categories are not intrinsically distinct. Some advanced materials could correspond to some or all of these labels. Furthermore, there a variety of labels used to qualify categories of materials. i.e. ‘advanced materials’ ‘high value materials’ ‘modern materials’ ‘future materials’. (Featherston & O’Sullivan, A review of international public sector roadmaps-advanced materials)
AMME – b y de finitio n: Advanced Manufacturing is: “a family of activities that depend on the use and coordination of information, a) automation, computation, software, sensing, and networking, and/or make use of cutting edge materials and emerging b) capabilities enabled by the physical and biological sciences, for example nanotechnology, chemistry, and biology. This involves both new ways to manufacture existing products, and especially the manufacture of new products emerging from new advanced technologies.” (President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology Report to the President on Ensuring American Leadership in Advanced Manufacturing)

He a dline po ints Manufacturing sector – OUTLOOK Spring 2016 (UUEPC) Locally, the high profile job losses announced in the manufacturing sector in 2015 and early 2016 have contrasted with several new investment announcements. This is a reminder of the volatile nature of global investment patterns and looking forward, the UUEPC forecasting model continues to suggest a relatively modest rate of growth. Sectoral Outlook for Manufacturing The most recent data shows manufacturing employment growing strongly.
T he No rthe rn I re la nd la ndsc a pe The outlook remains positive, but growth will be lower reflecting the difficult international trading environment and the recent announcements at JTI, Michelin and Bombardier (with the impact being most significantly felt in 2017 and 2018).

NORT HE RN I RE L AND E CONOMI C OUT PUT SPRI NG 2016 (UUE PC) MACRO-ECONOMIC FACTORS IMPACTING UK/NI PERFORMANCE Growth in China • Continued growth in China’s real economy despite volatility in global markets reaction. Oil Prices • Oil price collapse good for net importers (such as UK & RoI) but some emerging economies such as Brazil & Russia are dependent on oil exports. Potential Brexit • Most likely to have a bigger impact on Northern Ireland compared to the rest of the UK or RoI.
