It provides access to £3.3 million of ERDF/WEFO funding to support businesses in the life science, healthcare/biomedical, construction, advanced materials, energy & environment and creative industries.
Through ACNM, companies build collaborations with academics from Swansea and Cardiff universities to work on R&D projects that bring new products, processes and services to market with the ultimate goal of bringing new jobs and prosperity to East Wales. The project will run until July 2021.
