Delegation from India visit region

-

THE LEADERS of manufactur­ing and technology companies from India have visited the University of Sheffield’s Advanced Manufactur­ing Research Centre (AMRC) during a week-long visit to the UK.

In 2016, Sheffield City Region businesses exported £66m worth of goods to India, and it was one of the top five source markets for investment into the SCR between 2006 and 2016.

Sir NIgel Knowles, chair of the SCR LEP, said: “This was an important visit for both the Sheffield City Region and our partners at the University of Sheffield’s AMRC.

“We are looking to develop stronger partnershi­ps with high growth markets such as India, particular­ly in the context of Brexit. When we leave the EU, our relationsh­ips with countries such as India, as well as China and the USA, will be increasing­ly important.”

This week’s visit follows the announceme­nt of an ambitious ‘Tech Partnershi­p’, declared during Prime Minister Modi’s visit to the UK in April 2018.
