LCR 4.0: Shaping the manufacturing industry of tomorrow
LCR 4.0 was instrumental in transforming Liverpool City Region’s manufacturing sector through digital innovation. As part of the programme, businesses had access to the expertise, technology and collaboration opportunities they needed to boost productivity and drive innovation.
This website showcases the success of the project and the positive impact it has had on manufacturers in the region.
Technology is changing the way we make and produce goods globally. Liverpool City Region innovation players have collaborated to embrace Industry 4.0 and create a community of businesses to seize the opportunity with the support of LCR 4.0, a part ERDF funded business support programme.
Dr Andy Levers, Technical lead for LCR 4.0
The LCR 4.0 programme has been instrumental in changing the way we thin about and do manufacturing here in Liverpool City Region. The results of the programme speak for themselves – particularly given the growth its supported and the number of jobs it’s helped to create for the region. The legacy of the programme will undoubtably live on and inspire other manufacturing businesses to realise their Industry 4.0 aspirations.
