AMPI Projects Showcase

Join the Advanced Machinery Productivity Institute (AMPI) Technology Showcase 2026 and connect with the people and technologies shaping the future of UK manufacturing.

The UK has world-class universities, innovative businesses, and a strong industrial base. Yet much of the machinery used by industry is still imported. This reliance on overseas capability presents both an economic and strategic risk — and a clear opportunity to strengthen and scale capability within the UK.

AMPI brings together academic expertise and industrial innovation to reduce the time, cost and risk of developing new machinery, and supports businesses to adopt and deploy advanced technologies with confidence.

At this showcase, you will discover technologies created through AMPI collaborations and designed for real industrial application, including:

• Precision machine tools

• Robotics and automation systems

• Measurement and sensing

• Digital manufacturing solutions

Developed in response to industrial demand, these technologies are already being adopted by industry to improve capability, increase productivity and deliver measurable impact.

The event showcases innovators from the United Kingdom, and highlights how collaboration directly supports national priorities, strengthens supply chains, and accelerates the adoption of new technologies.
