Who we are
CW4.0 helped manufacturing SMEs in Cheshire & Warrington to accelerate opportunities for growth and investment using digital technologies.
Through fully-funded, hands-on support and expertise, our teams enabled manufacturers to develop smarter processes and products and solve their problems.
What we did
We supported manufacturing businesses to solve problems, seize opportunities and stay ahead of the competition by adopting new technologies emerging from the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0).
Our teams provided free access to a comprehensive range of facilities, technologies and experts.
