Project overview
We're supporting manufacturers with productivity, skills, training and decarbonisation knowledge to improve success in the marketplace.
The Accelerating Decarbonisation and Productivity through Technology and Skills (ADAPTS) programme supports manufacturers in Wales, providing unparalleled access to advanced manufacturing technology, knowledge transfer, training and upskilling in digital and decarbonisation strategies.

Funding
ADAPTS is fully funded through respective council's UK Shared Prosperity Fund allocation.
The UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) is part of the government's Levelling Up initiative, providing £2.6 billion in funding by March 2025 to support local investment across all UK regions addressing disparities and needs in both affluent and deprived areas. The UK government’s Autumn Budget announced a further £900 million of funding for local investment by March 2026.
AMRC Cymru successfully bid for ADAPTS as a means to support local manufacturers with productivity, skills, training and decarbonisation knowledge, areas that we have seen as key drivers in improving success in the marketplace.
